    8 please, Shaggy, thanks. I was so pleased to see that I have got a heart next to my total :T-

    Does anybody know if I can take unopened bottles of wine back to Mr T's? I have 4 bottles of pinot sitting there beaming like black holes, and would rather they weren't , so I've got the receipts (recent) and will have a go tomorrow.

    Have a good day, everybody :)

    Hope you're enjoying your visit to DD Pricey.

    I was only thinking that I'll get my 'heart' tomorrow just in time for Valentines Day!

    On the returning bottles thing. You could always say you got extra in for a party and didn't need it. It's worth a try.

    Have a good day all, especially cleggie as yesterday sounded dreadful!

    Right Friday night shared 2 bottles wine so within limits, and stopped had big glass squash.
    Saturday a little less brilliant: 2 small spritzers with lunch, 2 small glasses wine in the hotel room, glass of champagne with the afternoon tea that was part of the deal we got, then glass prosseco x3 with dinner. The worst was 2 ammaretto after dinner.
    No thick head but broken nights sleep and I should not have had the ammaretto that was bad.

    So AF for me for next 6 nights.

  • 8 please, Shaggy, thanks

    Maman: thanks for the advice re the bottles, I'll use that one.:cool: Lovely visit to DD1 - she still hasn't decided whether to go for the year's study in Australia, because she has a really lovely boyfriend at uni and it would be so difficult to leave him - poor thing.:)

    I hope everybody is having a good evening.:)

    How spooky. I have just found the above link in my favourites and played it. It brought me back here after a very long absence and there you were RA, right at the top of the page with the very same link.:)

    I am glad to see this thread is still going strong with old and new faces. I feel the people on here helped save my life and I really should check in a bit more often than I do.:o

    Good luck to you all on your journeys whether cutting down or trying to give up completely. It is very difficult but it can be done, I Promise.:)


    Take Care of YOU
    Love Mollypolly xxxx

  • Hi Everyone
    6 Af please Shaggy
    Hope everyone is well. Have been away for the weekend visiting family and friends, not AF but ever so slightly in moderation. Really need to pull my socks up ( as my mum used to tell me when i was wee) this week where AF is concerned, feel i have let it slip a little this past week.
    :wave: bearacus hope you are well x
    It’s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

  • 3 for the SNC please Bearacus.

    Hope everyone has had a nice weekend. Mine was quiet. Wasn't AF, but didn't go overboard either!

    I'm off work today because the kids are off. We're off to soft play then friends for lunch. Just nice not to be working! :j
    Need to start again :o
