2/24 AFDs for me.
A mad dash north has resulted in an offer being made and accepted on a neighbouring flat at 13k less than the one withdrawn from sale. It needs new boiler, kitchen, bathroom and we'll upgrade the ensuite, but the end result could be better for not much more.

2/14 for me please Shaggy, AF Monday and tonight but lots of booze with pancakes last night. I was itchy and grumpy and antsy and tired this evening. I still managed to stay AF - very pleased I took the wine out of the fridge this morning as by this evening I would have caved in to temptation.

I have also really struggled with deciding on my target this month as I'm away for a week. I was going to choose 10 but I really want to go for 14 again as I like getting the second smiley and I would feel disappointed to do less well again after hitting 14 in December January and February. So knowing it's a tough target with everything on the calendar I'm pleased to have got off to a fairly good start.

Dublin and Gran Canaria sound nice. Sleep well everyone.

Sounds good satchmo, you've been too busy for a drink! The flat will be like new when you've sorted it.

Not even off the starting line this month................

OH back at home. All enforced due to circumstances.

Friends visiting last weekend (hence enforcement) and we pulled it together for the outward appearance of being fun loving, happy guys which is what everyone expects. Mixed cocktails and laughed. No one externally knows of relationship traumas.

Whilst away in Europe a fortnight ago OH broke down and booed his heart out whilst out in a trendy cocktail bar.
Since then there has been a complete return to his arrogant self. Maybe he is trying to protect himself and not trying to do anything to annoy me and risk what may be the end!

Not even sure where we are heading. I am reluctant to make hasty decisions that i or we may regret. 90% happy life together and in the last year we have gone into decline which accounts for the lost 10%.
He says I've changed massively with not drinking and my spending life in gym. I argue that I have spent last 20 years in the gym I just don't drink at night anymore and sweat out gin and wine every morning.

OH back at home for last 4 nights which has accounted for loads of awkwardness between us and wine and tv being the norm.

Not even sure of anything anymore. Individually we seem to be completely apart. Not that long ago closest person ever to me.
How did that ever happen in a year?

Sorry to overload you all with this!
No one knows about this.........

Must be really hard for you stupotstu please feel free to off-load on here anytime.

Keeping-up appearances can be very difficult and self-destructive. I know you don't want to make a hasty decision but I hope things get sorted out soon for your own peace-of-mind. Take care x

I am aiming for another AF tonight but am not confident enough to declare early today .

Congratulations on the flat satchmo - hope it all goes through OK for you.

Have a great day everyone
