14 please, Shaggy, thanks.

I hope everybody is OK.

Took DD1 back to uni yesterday for her second year - already! :eek:Then got stuck in mega traffic jam on M62. :mad:DD2 was sad and I'm dreading her going to uni too next year. :eek:Then DD3 refused to let me collect her from a party because she wanted to stay at a friend's house - who I don't know, so arguments with her via texts and phone calls :mad:- she came home in the end, thank goodness. :AI was supposed to be working on a project with Monday deadline last night to make up for missing during the day, but by 8:00 pm I had had enough and gave in to my wine cravings. SO, got to work even harder today. :(As usual, I've taken on too much work - that's the prob with freelancing though. Sorry about the moan!

Well, I suppose being indecisive led to self fullfilling prophecy and I wasn't AF last night, but didn't go overboard. Will be AF tonight.
Up for SNC this week and going for 4 nights please bearacus ( hope not too early to say)

Oh Legs, what a horrible year. Things can only get better for you.

Best wishes x

And thanks for the sympathy, Miss P! I hope you have a fab week, and that cute little Piglet is enjoying school - Year 1 now?

Miss_Piggy_2

Oh my word, Legs, puts my stuff into perspective. Many ((hugs)) to you. You should be SO proud of the amount of AF days though!!!:T

Pricey - yep, year one now and already taller than many year 2's!!:eek: Did his height on an NHS chart the other day and it puts him at 6'5 at age 20!!!:eek::eek: No WAY am I paying for his shoes then!:rotfl::rotfl:

:grouphug: for you legs, what a dreadful year you're having. I think any progress you're making on the AF side is amazing. If just drinking when you're out is a help then go for it. The cost will probably help you to limit what you have anyway.:(

Like MissP says that puts my drinking into perspective. I just like it too much:D

I'm not going to sign up for the SNC this week as I expect tomorrow to be my only AF night, I'll have one with a meal on Tuesday and then Wednesday I'm off on a short holiday. When I get back there won't be much September left!:eek:
