    Good morning all

    Just popping on at work - busy morning. Piglet had a class assembly today so had to go and be the proud mummy:D

    Shaggy - loving the picture today. Reminds me of Piglet when he was about 5 months old (except he had a ton of hair) - he was a right michelin baby until solid foods kicked in.:)

    I had a couple of glasses of wine last night so figures stay the same please. I stopped after two (well one and a bit - one of them diddy bottles) so was quite pleased with myself.

    Anyway, best do some work. have good fridays everyone!

    Miss P
    xx

    Well done you lot, alcohol is a a very nasty drug, did you know that the licence you need to sell alcohol by law is a POISONS licence? keep up the good work everybody who is trying and those who have succeded as well , and i mean that sincerely.

    Hello kaya. I'm not sure that's quite right. The Licensing Act 2003 controls the licensing for sale of alcohol and The Poisons Act 1972 (s.3) of poison. I'm not saying that alcohol isn't a poison tho', of course.

    4 AFDs for me for May so far. Managed a work do without my usual poison (;)) yesterday and feeling good today.

    Sorry Kaya but am afraid I don't believe thats true. I took my licencees certificate a few years ago and no mention of poisons is made in ANY of the associated paperwork.

    i've decided to not be alcohol free today and am going to have some white wine in moderation. I'm driving tomorrow night so won't be drinking tomorrow. Hmm don't think my 30 days was very realistic somehow. I'm going to just try and beat my highest result of 17 days alcohol free. Have a great weekend everyone

    I'm struggling a bit tonight. Mum phoned earlier and wants me and my brother and sister to go round on Sunday morning to discuss the will. Then my brother spoke to me, apparently mum wants to leave me the house. I have no idea what to do. I don't want to leave where I am now, but mum is offering us the chance to be mortgage free, but it just doesn't seem right. Oh I don't know. I think I'm going to go to tescos to do the weekly shop. That should keep the bells at bay for the moment (and no, I'm not planning on buying any beer!)
