Hi All :wave:
Wow, It's been super quiet on here, and it seems that everyone has been a bit poorly.
Not had a chance to log on much in the last week or so. Been super busy but not really got much to show for it. Just spend my days sitting on the floor singing nursery rhymes and watching Baby TV!!
Now I've completed my first week at work I've decided that I would really like to be able to work from home. I missed Baby R so much on Saturday that I cried as soon as I got home. Just need to work out what I can do from home to earn some money............
Of course, another reason to work from home is MrR's drinking. It's still out of control and not getting any better. I feel so stupid for believing him everytime he says he'll stop. How the heck can I leave BabyR for 4 hours in an evening when I can't trust him to look after her properly.
Well done for all the afd's for November. And good luck for December. Although I don't drink I do understand how hard it must be during the "party season". I was given such a hard time last year for not drinking at our xmas lunch.
Have a happy tuesday all

I'm going to declare 25 AFDs for November, please, Shaggy. Definitely won't be drinking tonight or tomorrow, so safe to declare now.
December: let's go for 25 again
Very busy here in RL, but lots of positive things happening in my family, so very happy.
I hope everybody is well x0 -

Hi Mrs R
Nice to hear from you. I do feel for you leaving BabyR, especially if you're worrying about how much MrR is drinking. I'd say it does get easier gong back to work but that's only true if you're totally secure in who's looking after the babe.
Why is it that the non drinker gets all the flack for "spoiling the party" when it's all sympathetic smiles for the one who's slurring and stumbling and slobbing around. Grrrr0
