    Morning all,

    sorry I didnt update yesterday :o (I'm not quite sure where the day went ??)
    I went out last night to catch up with an old friend. We went out for tea but I stayed on the diet coke :T.

    So SNC'ERS check your totals for me and if there is a mistake just let me know :)

    Af last night, so thats 25 AF please shaggy and 3 for the SNC x

  • No more AF's for me today as had 2 beers & approx 1/4 bottle wine last night - luckly so tired that couldn't drink any more of the wine, small saving grace i guess.

    Think the slip was due to having a 'down' day & then OH annoyed me further when got home :mad:

    Feel rubbish this morning - no engergy, regretful & insecure :( tbh I was feeling pretty down yesterday so may be a continuation from that but I know the Alchol would not have helped the situation!

    Haven't got time to feel sorry for myself today - so fix a smile & onwards . . .

    AF last night, so 14 please Shaggy and 3 for the SNC Bearacus. I've started taking nytol cos I just can't seem to sleep at the moment. It probably would have worked last night if some idiots hadn't started shouting outside my door at 3am :mad: So now I'm completely knackered. Roll on the weekend.

    Morning all

    No Shaggy today? Not the same without our morning picture!:)

    Totallyinzane - stress is understandable in the run-up to a wedding. Hope you feel better as the day goes on.

    Just been swimming with Munchkin. Had a lovely time :T . I expect we'll be doing a lot of it over the holidays.

    Like MissP said, it's to be expected. Try and get out in the fresh air and have a bit of a walk. That's so much better for lifting your mood than alcohol.

    Not so much "bikini" body as "beached whale" body at the moment. Weighed this morning and put a pound ON! Very fed up:( I know, its gonna happen at some point but its very annoying when it does.

    AF for me tonight please Shaggy.
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x
  • Feeling in a better mood tonight - although no AF I'm afraid

    Met OH & some of her work colleagues in local pub after work & then finished off the bottle of wine from last night (3/4 bottle).

    Back on the wagon next week, as plans for whole of weekend, which involved alcohol
