  • Thanks all, thanks, thanks, thanks........ well- my car (and me) were in an accident this morning- not my fault- her car skidded on the ice into mine.... thankfully I (and her-the other driver) have full insurance and my suspension wil be fully fixed soon... have a hire car coming tomorrow.

    The comment earlier today made me feel like a traitor... I wrote out a long reply about how bad it had got for me- how much I was drinking- all the bad stuff- the stuff that you never tell anyone.. then I deleted it before I sent it.. I don't feel the need (or want) to explain/brag about my alcohol intake.. really don't want to own up to it all.
    Anyway- just a blip tonight- be well back on it tomorrow night !! After fat club.. MUST have lost at least 4 pounds.. Please !!??

    Night all. :)

    Sorry to hear about the car accident Daisy, but glad you are ok.

    On hear you can say as little, or as much (you may notice I ramble on about all aspects of my life!!:rotfl:) as you feel you need /want to. Its the support thats important...and we support all on here, giver uppers and cutter downers. Either option, in my opinion, is quite frankly bloody hard. So please don't be too tough on yourself.

    ((hugs)) and good luck for your weigh in tomorrow!!

    Just had the tea that was recommended earlier in the thread. Have also come back from poker £65 up. And now off to bed. So that will be 7 days AF for me for January. Cheers.

    I have just noticed a large crack running across the windscreen on the passengers side... not sure when that happened or if the insurance will pay. Ho hum!
    Can we just take it as read I didn't mean to offend you?

    :T:T:T that's excellent on the winnings and the tea front (shame about the windscreen). It just proves you can do it.

    Not AF tonight as I had planned to drink with my meal out. I had one teeny glass of Merlot and then came home and made a cup of tea, too!! Back on the wagon tomorrow and I'm delighted with my moderation.:)

    Shame you didn't get to do your marathon MissP (NOT!)

    Daisy, don't worry about the blip, it's done and tomorrow (or even today) is another day. I do admire you doing the fatloss and cutting down together. I have taken almost two years procrastinating (and learning to cut down) before joining fat club.

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.
