    Not sure how long it will last but Dr says 2 cans a night is ample. Mr SA is determined to stick to it. Plus he reckons he’s going to do 3 AFDs a week with me, I’ll believe it when I see it :rotfl:

    Back to work properly tomorrow, been great working from home, although not as easy as I have 2 extra screens at work which are needed for some tasks. I need to be there physically now for meetings tomorrow and Friday - could Skype but not the same as face to face. Next week in Birmingham Wednesday then working at home Thursday, otherwise in the office.

    Finance wise small Mr M delivery at 06.30 this morning plus taxi fares to hospital and back. Yesterday just 70p for the Mail. Need to buy some fresh stuff from Lidl tomorrow though.

    Excellent news - hope it doesn't become another burden for you to have to police the drinking though, but yay for good news.

    So glad that the 'nasty' isn't back. :)
    You never know, Mr SA may turn into a health nut - now would that be a good or a bad thing?? :eek: :D
    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy

    I’m pleased it’s not what Mr. S thought it was going to be. He might even stick to the drinking regime as it’s given him a bit of a shock and wake up call again. Fingers crossed. Could you buy his beer and squirrel it away just putting a couple of cans out a day ?

    Will you get chance for a mooch around Birmingham when you go or will it be all work.

    Do you still manage your secret outings?
