    Alcohol free day #7. See how I mention that first? DH and I are exhausted and I am planning/having to work at my day job on a Saturday night which I really dont believe in.

    I've given up school night alcohol, so allowed Friday and Saturday only and then restrict to fit into calories, tbh was quite hard at first as it was a habit we had fallen into. Im no longer bothered but do look forward to Friday evening. My tolerance has dropped majority and I measure my units in a medicine pot...

    Sorry about line manager - maybe take up scurry racing now and offer to take him out with you? If he were then to fall out of that tiny trap and get run over you would not have to plead anything as everyone knows accidents happen and you were being nice??? :A

    :rotfl: oooh, that's clever! Watty you've revealed an impressively cunning dark side, the kind befitting an Agatha Christie novel!


    :wave:

    Hope your day's been kind A!

    I have a very limited range of jokes.. (no chemistry but definitely school level...)

    whats the difference between snowmen and snow women?
    Snow balls

    Daves is
    Man goes into drs, says "i feel like a dog"
    Dr says "get on the couch"
    Man says "im not allowed"

    Re alcohol. I think for me if I stopped drinking completely, I wouldnt be able to sustain. Im become very into "everything in moderation" and "nothing is banned" mode of thinking. Dave thinks im overdoing the"diet" as i measure it exactly.

    Great jokes!

    I guess measuring exactly is one reason why you are successful?

    How tall are you HDK?
