  • That's a super-early call CPC :) The nice thing about an early call is that one can then put the debating society to bed for the rest of the day, and the "Should I? Shouldn't I?" noise keeps quiet.

    Indeed it does ... Though it was ridiculously early!!!

    1/30 please, Shaggy.

    Thank you for all my smilies for April. Day 250 for me today, a number I rather like. It's lovely to know that all those smilies are racked up forever on this thread, and no-one can take them away - apart from Shaggy! Very grateful for that.

    Well done honey bear, a very satisfying number indeed:T

    I have more than a little sympathy for those that are feeling the after effects of red wine. (((Hugs))) all round.


    29/31 please, Shaggy.

    I winced in sympathy with those suffering too. Hope you are both feeling chipper now. It was interesting that even though a colour of wine wasn't mentioned my mind immediately imagined white wine and HB you imagined red. Powerful stuff this imagination.

    I really should try to remember about the horrible debating society. I can shut them up if I am prepared and then don't even consider drinking. I just need to remember who they are and what they do! They are very sneaky :mad:

    1/20 for me as tonight is AF and the debating society have packed and gone elsewhere for the evening. :D

    I found these posts really resonated with me and I want to shut the debating society up too. Yesterday was 1/15. I only had a fleeting few thoughts about drinking. That was my first AF day in a few months.

    I've posted else-thread, Chardonnay, to say it, but no-one's going to mind a second post wishing you a wonderful time, are they?
    Better is good enough.
  • 1/21 no flipping sleep mind. Any suggestions for savoury drinks? Tried a no added sugar ginger beer last night :( not jumping for joy on that one I must say. May have to be ye old B* cks Blue.

    Have a nice break Chardonnay.

    I was reading your diary and, if anything, I think you will be able to do it and even enjoy it AF more than you would have done otherwise!
