    Hey Sea
    Glad your feeling a bit better and that your new card has arrived already. What make is your new WM? I looked at those large drum ones but then decided I wash so often because we need the clean clothes that if I waited until I had enough washing to fill the large drum we would be going around in our birthday suits :)!

    oooh yes - lets take photos :)

    I wonder if we'd be able to tell from styles of scrapping who'd done what? I go for a v simple kind of thing I think as am a bit rubbish with embellishments - although I do try lol! I've loving all the different ideas I am getting from everyone's CJs though. Brilliant!

  • Hi Sea - I hope I don't sound harsh, I don't want to be horrible.

    It sounds to me as if you do have a bit of a problem with alcohol. I know I'm very much on the teetotal end, but it worries me when people find that even the idea of giving up alcohol scares them - it sounds to me like a minor dependence on it, if it's needed to relax / have a good time / go out at all.

    Drinking that much in one night is an awful lot, and blacking out isn't good. Perhaps you can try to give up completely for a month, see how you feel?

  • NDG I'm not sure if you've read seas posts but she is trying to give up & already recognises that there are issues which she is dealing with....sure she will respond when she gets back but being honest I felt umm what did I feel...maybe leave that for now ...suffice to say I felt that this needed to be said meanwhile.
    For sea when she reads this big hugs for you cos I know you feel carp already and have an awful lot to deal with. Remember a day at a time my friend...
