Antonic Well done on a fantastic achievement :T

Thanks Bearacus, it turns out I have done the right thing stopping drinking as I now have (undetermined) liver problems BUT NOT cancer.

I think the whole of the crew I employ are on a mission to see if they can drive me to drink. I am out of the office for ONE day and the poo has hit the fan with such speed it is covering the entire world. All for the sake of ONE person who CBA doing what they were asked to do.
I am furious with the blighters, it was not complicated, it was not difficult they just had to write and send a few letters TODAY. Not tomorrow, not next week, TODAY.

Must try and calm before tomorrow morning otherwise I will be sacking the lot of them which just means I have to do the whole lot myself.

!!!!!!s, I now have the alcohol cravings like you would not believe, I really want a large glass of wine to slip soothingly down my throat, followed by 6 or 7 of its mates so I can get the rant out of my head.

I wonder what crap excuses they will come up with - little do they realise that death (theirs) is the only acceptable option, and as they were present and incorrect they have just lucked out on that excuse. ARRGH! ONE DAY out of the office and they decided they can't do something they have been doing reliably for the last 2 years.

I resent them driving me to drink so I am going to zumba and balance instead, and hope this will keep the monster from my mind.

Hope you all have a more relaxing evening than I am, or at least less stressful

missrlr - don't let them drive you to drink....Zumba like you've never Zumba'd before...I'm willing you on from over here :T

antonic - I'm sorry to hear that you have problems with your liver...I worry everyday about the damage I might have done to mine - well done on giving up!!

MissP - poor piglet, I hope his eye is ok....I can imagine what happened and did have a little chuckle to myslef :rotfl:(sorry is that cruel)

Did anyone do the road exercise that 365 set yesterday?....I did and was really quite shocked about where my imagination took me...I was planning on going down a winding leafy lane to a pretty little cottage but mind took me in another direction all together....very interesting!!

Anyway today has been AF, the bells that plagued me after the Xmas break have finally fallen silent and I'm finding it much easier to stay AF in the week again, thank goodness

5 AFD's please shaggy and 4 for the SNC please bearacus

missrlr

Thanks, zumba'd so hard I didn't have the energy for balance so did 20 mins relax shower now in bed watching stem cell program.

AF yesterday and will be the same tonight so 7 AFD please Shaggy

Thank goodness we've got this place to come to when we feel wobbly or angry or sick so that we can vent instead of falling into a vat of wine - I used to do a lovely little dive headfirst into the stuff on a regular basis until recently.

Crazymum - you've stopped drinking and smoking, of course you're a bit wobbly and teary - you're trying to walk without your previously very reliable crutches. You have to learn what the heck to do with yourself that doesn't involve a ciggie or a drink when someone/something puts you into a tailspin. You will learn to cope - it's just that you didn't realise this would be part of the package and it caught you on the hop. Don't keep your worries to yourself - we of all people know how you feel.
