Evening all
Thank you all for your encouragement. It means a lot to me.
4pm today the bells were ringing. 4pm seems to be my time lately and I've been known to crack open a bottle of wine several days a week at that time. Today I immediately decided to get busy. Gave Piglet a haircut (which he was most displeased about!!:rotfl:) and then gave him an early bath. Seemed to help but have still felt a bit grumpy and edgy since.
Roll on bedtime
Miss P

9 Af please Shaggy and 3 for SNC please BearacusIt’s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts0

9 please, Shaggy, thanks.
Just come back from a work trip - I was SO anxious last weekend, leaving DD2 and DD3 being looked after by DH - but they all coped OK! But I drank far too much last weekend, I was dreading it. The wine then increased my anxiety by 100% so that on Sunday I was a wreck. I had to leave on Sunday afternoon and take a flight to France. I think it all went OK after all, and I wasn't even tempted to drink while I was there.
I hope everybody is OK x0 -
Hope you manage to stay strong Miss P x
I feel your pain pricey, I drank far too much at the weekend, especially Sunday, and have been anxious and tired all week so far. Hoping for a more chilled out day tomorrow.
I'm feeling totally knackered, tuesdays and wednesdays I have college (20 miles away) all day from 9:30 until 4 and then start work at 5 (after another 20 mile drive) and don't get home until 9:30pm, don't get proper meals etc and am out the house for 13 hrs, (retraining for a new career sounded like a good idea at the time!). I used to wind down from all this with a glass or 2 of wine, its not until recently that I've realised how much more damage it was doing!
I'm on 7 for Oct please shaggy and 3 on the SNC please bearacus
Hope everyone is ok!0 -
