Cleaning comes to mind, but can't motivate myself to do that of an evening!

:eek: Oh come on pollyanna, nobody can be that desperate!:rotfl:




Thanks for telling us that manpants.:A Sounds like you're at a bit of crossroads. I know we probably all make compromises in a relationship but lines have to be drawn somewhere. I don't like the sound of that goading.:(

I just need to learn to limit that to the one as since I've given up during the week, I seem to think it's okay to drink half of a second bottle now as well.

I have been through the same. Stopped drinking during the week and ended up probably drinking more in total because I was going mad at the weekends, I guess to make up for it!

Positive vibes being sent your way ManPants. Sounds like someone needs to forgive and forget or it will be a permanent wedge between you. Maybe a cards on the table session is needed?

Listen to me, in a right old pickle at work myself, giving others suggestions on their problems!!!!

Beyond cross as I had decided yesterday to have a picnic meal in the hotel - gets boring eating in restaurants alone. So popped into local supermarket and picked up AF shandy - I’m sure that’s what the label said. Got back, had my snack and thought wonder how many calories this AF shandy is, turned over the bottle and it said 2.5 ALK. So annoying as that would have been day 10 and I could have made target and had a glass of wine at the weekend. Not even worth breaking an AFD for a shandy!

oh maggie thats so unfair but at least you didn't blow it and drink a lot more

All going OK here think the craves have mostly gone but still remaining vigilant thinking of things I can do in the evening that do not involve drinking and theres a whole new world I never got involved in as a drinker
