Hi all

3/18 AFDs .

Hi Satchmo1 & Sukeyboo - OH doesn't like the dark circles under his eyes and I heard on the radio that dark circles relate to drinking too much. In a nice way I suggested cutting out drink and I bought him some milk thistle. Didn't work. OH hates his job and reckons a drink in the evenings relaxes him. I know there is no point in harping on at him as he has to make up his own mind.

Hi Munchin - I think we must be living with the same person :eek: - as you say they have to make their own minds up about their drinking - it is just that my OH does try and persuade me to have a drink with him and unfortunately sometimes I am not strong enough to say no :mad:

9AF please Shaggy

My day so far is going exceedingly badly, am hoping by the time I get off home I won't hear the wine calling me

Tracy - try putting some earplugs in when you get home - seriously though, I know we all think that a drink will help but it seldom does - it just numbs the pain sometimes

Thanks sukeyboo

I did try but caved - thankfully not spectacularly!
Had 3 vodkas - only limited because my fella came over and he only drinks when out
It did relax me, so by the time he came round I was ok - not ready to lynch anyone
His 1st words were - 'I won't criticise your cooking!'
To scared to lol

16/25 AFDs tonight

11/25 AFDs. I baked for hours last night, and held a cake sale at work today, raising £97 towards my 150k run fundraising.

A bit of a teaser with "150k", as I'm doing 30 x 5k runs throughout 2013, and have reached #27 so the end is near.

Here's the link, if anyone's feeling inspired to sponsor me?

No alcohol so far for me this evening.
