before I think of going to for more wine, ask myself if I really want to feel this tired every day.....

I agree absolutely. I over-indulged on both Friday and Saturday nights this weekend. :mad: And for no particular reason. I felt bad today, mentally and physically. I lost time too, when I could have been doing things, due to getting up late and then feeling sapped of energy. :mad:

I have used up all my non-AFDs for this month, so if I am going to make my target, I will have to be very, very strong. :cool: I don't actually know if I can do it, but I will certainly try

Best wishes to Satchmo for tomorrow - sounds like a horrible situation for you.

9 please, Shaggy, thanks

Munchin

Good luck today Satchmo:)

I had an AFD yesterday so that is 9/21 AFDs:D and I feel half alive this morning because of it

Good luck for today Satchmo - I will be thinking of you.

No AFD's to report for the weekend but I hadn't planned any so I guess that is OK .

Back to it today - I wish I could get out of the habit of drinking at weekends but I am too easily led by my OH :mad:

Have a good day all

I got myself so worked up that I had a full blown panic attack and ended up in A&E at 1am after describing my symptoms to 111 who despatched an ambulance. Got home at 3am..

Oh sweetie I hope this morning went OK; have just been catching up on the thread from Friday (guess why :o) please tell us all is OK. Is it giving too much away to say what you do & therefore what the consequences of non-following-of procedure was? I'm guessing more serious than running out of black biros....

Drank last night = feel tired and lethargic today :mad: Is this cycle ever going to stop?

In my experience, no. But I live in hope.

And very good luck with that. Is where I am today. Epic fail.

Possibly not appropriate given peoples' general pist-offness (but hey, when has that ever stopped me?) but feel I have to share my latest culinary "episode" for which Jamie O is entirely to blame..."smoky kipper pate" - I had cream cheese & paprika & lemon at the ready - the kippers said (they didn't actually talk it was on the label) best to microwave (they are in a vacuum pack usually boil in the bag) do not pierce bag, I guessed the pack had a hole in as it smelled so strong, lifted it to cut the end off & the entire contents fell out of the other end on to the floor but not before leaving a trail of fish oil & butter down the front of my clean-on-that-morning sweatshirt. Within nano-seconds The Beagle scented something fishy going on & that was that. :mad:

Speaking of The Beagle, did a walk this morning that I've not done for months & d'you know, whilst I've been elsewhere someone's raised the bar on all the stiles by about 3 inches - I used to step over with ease but today I couldn't get my leg over (*snigger*) - I actually had to grasp my knee with both hands to force my leg over the top :eek: out of shape! :eek:

And.....

Dear Sir/Madam, Your transgender operation was a partial success.

Hi everyone. Back on here after some time. Hope you are all doing well. I am back from a lovely holiday, and shortly before that my mum died (not unexpectedly) and now I need to get some balance.with my drinking. OH away for some of this week so am using the opportunity to have some AFDs after so long without any! Will report in tomorrow... xx

Sorry to hear about your Mum mrsdee - good luck with getting some AFD's under your belt - sounds like your holiday was good (and well deserved)
