  • AF - 15/31

    Another day off work, going to sort out my wardrobe and update my cv, I think it's time to look for a new job. I have been doing this one for 7.5 years now.


    Have a good day everyone.


    Just looked at a thread which says Boots have a 75% off sale starting today, if anyone is interested.

    I had to replace my car, I got a tesco interest free cc with 18 months interest free period

    £5600 with 18 months to pay it.
  • Hi everyone. Went out for my competition prize last night, Indian meal with other half. I had lamb tikka and he had sheekh kebab for starters, I had chicken tikka massala and pilau rice and he had this lamb bombay biriani dish with garlic naan. Only had to pay for the drinks so 2 pints of carlsberg his i might say and 2 pints of diet coke for me total £11.80. Enjoyed and best part I drove there and back instead of drinking and not being able to eat my meal and other half giving me evils. This sobriety thing is getting better all the time. So, 14 AF days out of 31 and Sun, Mon and Tues SNC AF days, can you clarify whether Sun is a SN cos I dont know.

    Tesco Credit Card £250 £25 DD 0% for next 10 months.

    Barclaycard Initial £241.45 0% for next 7 mths.

    Right, that's 16 af for me and 18 in total! Loving feeling sober and richer! My little boys friend came for tea and we made pizza and fairy cakes. They LOVED it! I'm so chuffed it went well I was so worried about it! Now for tomorrow after school, 3 Mummies and their 4 year olds! It's going to be a full house (but at least it's not looking like an alcoholic lives here anymore AND I can afford biscuits!) All in all a positive day, and I lost 2lbs and a quarter!
    Now, however, I feel a bit rough and I'm off to bed. Bleuuuh! Have a great night everyone. J X

    Oh, was expecting lots of posts to read and got one!

    Reporting 16AF, date went REALLY well, going out again on Sat - he said about going round his local pubs, but as I'm not drinking said would rather not, so we are having a dvd and takeaway :)

    Well done Jak - you did a great job - wish I had extra money, where does it haemorrhage to?!?!

    Hi
    The SNC has traditionally ran from Mon eve - Thurs eve however due to people working different days/shifts etc some people's SNC can start on a Sun eve. Its up to each person when they want their own SNC to run from. For me, i work mon - fri so it starts on a Mon eve. Im happy to record anyones score starting from whatever day in the week. I hope this makes sense.

    11 AF please Shaggy

    He has agreed to come and see Tanita Tikaram with me on Thursday, which I'm looking forward to. I drive pretty much everywhere, so no temptation in the interval to have anything alcohol based.

    Wow thats a blast from the past, i loved her stuff from years ago. Hope you enjoy
