    Alcohol is largely sugar, so you are getting sugar withdrawal. HTH. x

    That makes sense now! Sitting here eating low fat greek yoghurt with a drizzle of honey to try and stave the pangs and also have slurped loads of diet ginger beer. I'll end up toothless at this rate! Mind you if I am hungover I feel so rough that I end up eating loads of fatty rubbish like crisps and fast food-hmm I wonder why i have raised cholestral (must learn to spell this word!)?!!

    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.

    19 please Shaggy!

    Morning everyone!

    I missed a call yesterday afternoon, someone left a message asking me if I'd give them a call about my job application that I emailed to them on Tuesday!!! Need to call them back today....thrilled even to get the opportunity to discuss the job further with them. Its given me a confidence boost even it I don't get asked to go for an interview! ;). I've also looked into the Face Painting a bit more. Starting up a small business doesn't seem as daunting as I expected (particularly because I wouldn't employ anyone so it would just be me). I've had a business insurance quote of £60 a year. Gosh, its still a scary thought though!!!! Might give the Governments Business Link Helpline a call later to get the full picture. It would only be a sideline but I think I'd enjoy it.

    Taking FiL out for a meal tomorrow for his birthday. Looking forward to being the designated driver :)

    Well done everyone, have a terrific weekend!

    Good morning campers, have a fun filled friday (even if we have to do things that we don't particularly enjoy - like work!)
    Happy to say I am still AF, I think I am up to day 20 for the month of May (makes sense as today is the 20th)

    Lala, business link are a wonderful resource, most of their forms/info sheets are downloadable from their website.

    Off for a swim before work, great energy boost.
    Have a great day y'all

    Hahaha Shaggy...love this one!!!!

    Hit my target last night so now on 10 AFD's for May and 4 for the SNC please. :)

    I don't expect to be AF tonight or tomorrow but really hoping that I can drop the Sunday night tipple...setting myself a target is certainly the way forward :)

    Hope you all have a great Friday and a fab weekend x
