  • Hey SS, staying in is the new going out. We'll have a party on here instead. I wish you wouldn't beat yourself up so much, you're doing amazingly well.

    In that case I've been 'with it' it for years! :rotfl:

    I'm not beating myself up. Just doing a bit of :wall: :p

    For the third time this 'party' season I'm sat at home on my own while the OH is out on the town. The one event I was invited to, on xmas eve, he felt too depressed to go to, so that was it - no parties for me.

    On the bright side I suppose while I'm sat here at least I'm not spending anything.

    I do that all the time. Did you know I sold a house in 2001 and paid off all my debts? Then ran them all back up again and more before I finally came to my senses. So there's an example of complete stupidity for you which should make you feel better about what you're doing. You didn't fail against anyone else's targets, you have to admit, your own target was too ambitious unless you were planning to sell your body 7 nights a week in Kings Cross :p

    Thats where I let myself down. I thought I could get away with doing it just 5 nights a week! :)
