    Hi all-had a busy weekend and couple of days at work. Am now on 8 afds and can I sign up for 4 snc with 1 under my belt. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss darwins-mum. I had two glasses of wine on Thursday night with DH and then I went to see Take That on Friday and drank quite a bit-2 small cans of pimms on the train, three bottles of bud in the pub before and 4 pints at the concert. This was over 8 hours but I felt absolutely horrendous on Saturday with a sickening headache and horrible sick feeling all day-felt so bad on Saturday night that I then went for hair of the dog and managed a bottle of red-wise choice.... I was af on Sunday and Monday and will be all week as am on nights at the weekend and am on antibiotics now as a routine test showed that I had an infection so had a call from the doctors to tell me to come and pick up my pill..i thought I felt a bit rough..

    Wow! you're doing very well Pen:T

    I've been AF tonight and very pleased to be back on the wagon. I can't imagine how I coped with drinking every night, I must have felt so sluggish.

    5AF for July Shaggy and 1 for the SNC please Bearacus.

    Thanks Maman, its nice to be AF most nights :)

    I had a much nicer day today. I'm off away with DH and no children at the weekend, the first time in years and I just can't wait. Everything has just been confirmed and a bit like a kid waiting for Christmas ..... Somebody else to do the cleaning etc for me (can't say cooking cos DH is a star where that is concerned).

    Also one of my jobs has been sorted out really nicely and tonight, to celebrate, I found a nice box of flavoured teas in the cupboard. Even the boys have tried them (well I want to set them off with good drinking habits if I can :D)

    Hope everyone is getting on ok today, Pen x

    Good morning all, just had a quick catch up as I havent posted for a while. I am back for a bit of an emotional prop. My grandma died on sunday and I feel 5 years old at the moment.

    Sorry to hear your news. My thoughts are with you and your family

    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.

    Another quick drop in, 9 days AF, Day 3 of SNC. I'll pop back at lunch when I'll see things a bit better on my computer, not my moby!! :-) xxx
