    I've been drinking

    ((juno))

    Well done for being honest and open about your drinking. Do you think it would help to work out why you drank, and what you want to do next?

    A slip can be very upsetting, but remember it is just that - a slip. You haven't lost the time that you didn't drink, its still there and you can still draw from that experience.

    Hope you are feeling okay xx

    Forgive me Juno, but I will be brutally honest & say "You plonker":o Having said that, none of us are perfect...I myself had a bag of chocolate raisins yesterday, knowing full well I'm trying to look the best I can for next Friday:undecided . That may sound as if I am taking the preverbial, but it is something I really should not be putting into my body in excessive amounts.
    So what say you & I just try to strengthen our resolve for the next time we are faced with temptation, & leave it at that?
    Take care babe, BMFx

    Morning......wuzza time!....oh good!....All.

    Left knee is beginning to play up--it's quite overcast here already:(

    I think I've put my foot in it big time--what's new:o! I've been invited out next week & was telling me muvva about the posh place that's been booked. So I'm blathering on about preferring our local fish restaurant & following up with a 99, when I noticed her face drop......I think the family were hoping to take me out for dinner for my birthday in a couple of months, & I've put a ruddy great spanner in the works:o

    Any ideas of how I could redeem myself, without letting on that I might have sussed the rouse?

    Have a good day, & Peaceful Minds folks. BMFx

    Morning :hello:

    BMF I think I would rave about it when you get back from your meal. Unless it really is a waste of money, then perhaps you could drop into a conversation that someone was telling you what a lovely meal they had at a particular place and you would love to try it, horrible when you realise you have said the wrong thing, I know the feeling :o

    Juno :grouphug: it was a mistake, we all make them huni, learn from it and don't beat yourself up about it.

    Hi guys!:hello:
    How's everyone today?
    Sorry for the post shortage, :rolleyes: - just have time for a pit stop & a quick click on everyone's thanks buttons. Tiffy's tuckered out! sad.gif
    All of the following - The Tiff Chronicles ~ Part 6, the whole ground floor of the house (I can leave the upstairs till tomorrow because I won't be able to see it in the dark!:D :rotfl: ), and even the Tiffster, have been turned upside down, overhauled and/or and cleaned to within an inch of its life!:eek:

    Just some Tiffbits afore I go...

    sazzy - are you up yet hun? I know you're working hard right now but grab some catnaps when you can.;) Hope all is quiet on the Western Front! Catch up soon hun. Take care.hug.gif

    gilly - I swear you're a born over-achiever! :D Are you sure you're not twins?! Congratulations on your new job angel!:T I hope it brings you all you thought it would. I'll have to do your poll later hun - I've got skid marks on my paw pads with all my rushing around! :eek: Take care gilly-badger.hug.gif

    bmf - I keep missing you hun.:o Hope you & the knees are well.;) As for birthday, why not make a list of some ideas you'd like as gifts - including a meal at wherever, a fortnight with the Chippendales, :D ,whatever - just as we used to do as children, & then let the family get creative?
    Take care sweetie.hug.gif

    juno - hope you're ok angel. Thinking of you. Take care and post when you can.hug.gif

    katie - congratulations on your win hun!:T
    Erm, you don't have any ideas for tonight's lottery numbers do you?:D ;) Take care hun.hug.gif

    Got to go guys - the flea-dip is waiting!:eek:
    Sorry I haven't named everyone but hopefully you know by now that I do care and that I'm thinking of you all. More tomorrow - you've been warned!:rolleyes: :D
    Be kind to yourselves.hug.gif
    Much Love,
    Tiff xxx
