    4/16 for me

    Not going out tonight as the weather is so lousy but I've just opened a bottle of wine to help with dinner.

    Not AF tonight, but zero carb Gin & Slimline tonic tonight :)
  • How does one do multi quotes:o. In the meantime:

    Fruball - absolutely terrible those nights, when all the next day you just think of the comprehensive poisoning that went on. Brain cells don't come back either I believe. Just horrid, feeling your pain.

    Tiller girl - I'm currently debating the is it just because it's Friday or do I really want one dilemma. I'm not sure which is worse though.

    However, I've just had an attack of the cba's as far as dinner is concerned and just texted OH that he can either catch it or cook it tonight, so wine may well be involved after all. At least I don't have to think about dinner tomorrow tonight either as I'll carry tonight's over.

    Bereavement, just the pits Shaggy/Fruball. I lost dad 10 years ago this year and my sister more recently. I don't even need setting off, tears are just spontaneous.

    Well done if you got to the end of that. This thread is quite nice isn't it.

    Fruball - that was funny!:D
    (Not funny that you had a drink, you know what I mean)

    No more AFDs for me and I don't know how the weekend will pan out, but I won't overdo anything. I tried a low alcohol wine last night. It was from Banrock Station, so I thought how bad can it be. Quite bad it turns out. I mean it certainly wasn't totally unpotable, but it was quite sweet and not really like the grape varieties mentioned on the bottle at full voltage. But at 5.5%, it meant I only consumed 2 units.

    Remember, I try these things so you don't have to.

    I think tower hill is also 5.5 per cent, its ok, its a quid for a 187 ml bottle in home bargains, drinkable, have tried both the rose and the white kind.

    6/24 AFDs tonight. My interview today was fab, the interviewer was a lady the same age as me (think "ladies of a certain age") and we hit it off right away. I was there an hour and a half... I did suggest that a weakness was talking too much, but thankfully she didn't writ that down. I will know by the end of next week whether I'm being invited back for a second interview, and they want the right person for the new role rather than saying they want someone by the beginning of March. It was as Executive Assistant, so matches my skills set to a T. Everything crossed for a positive outcome.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    Well done Alex:T
  • In the end I decided to have a glass of wine. Usually I would drink half a bottle without thinking about it. Instead I had a mini bottle, and had a cup of tea afterwards. No fuzzy head this morning!
