    Perni - your company do sounds fab :T

    Well, yet another hectic week at work - unfortunately, I made a real idiot of myself on Friday and got upset over the amount of work :( I hate getting upset...I feel so unprofessional.....anyhow, I was glad to get home on Friday evening.....hubby was a star and actually sent me to bed as I was so tired :T

    It really is but I need to get out of the habit of drinking so much! We always have such a laugh but with the second job I really do need to be sensible for the Xmas one...if I even go as it would appear I'm so MSE I just can't say no to free wine, even if I've clearly had enough!! Sorry to hear you got upset at work, if it's any consolation you can't have embarrassed yourself any more than I did at the do with my drunkeness! That's really not professional :o lol.

    Evening all,

    Today is more a what I have done list! Which isn't much unfortunately as I spent half the day in bed catching up on sleep.
    • Food from stores
    • Charged phone via pc
    • Dinner from stores
    • Created meal plan for the next fortnight
    • Heating off
    • Went to Mr T's & stuck to list, have even written down the total spent on my phone so I can refer back to this & ensure we are within our budget as I have not kept a proper eye on this for quite some time! Think I need to get my butt over to the grocery challenge thread again but I can never keep up with that thread.
    Still need to:-

    • Log calories using free app
    • Check online banking
    • Surveys
    • Must declutter a bit & do some flylady as there's lots in need of doing
    • Study
    • Free exercise on my pole
    Have a great, MSE day everyone x

    Lol xxx

    Unfortunately I can't drink wine and don't drink lager so I was bored at last my company wide Christmas do - I've decided that if they have an evening do again this year I've got something else on - the previous year there was an afternoon do - perfect as there was an open bar and I was blotto by 5pm :D. And carried on drinking after that.....I was home by 8pm ! :D

    You could possibly be sensible and have 1 drink ? Say that you are on tablets and go for super expensive soft drinks ?
