    Hi Shaggy - and everyone else

    Can I join in please?
    I was on here a few years ago with a name and account password long since forgotten - which is why I have had to set up a new account.
    I think my reason for wandering off into the wilderness was because the thread was hacked, or was it lost? Things fell apart for a few weeks on here.
    Not sure if that is my reason or if it is just an excuse:rotfl::rotfl:
    Anyway, a bright shiny new month, I have a birthday at the end of it and I am going to go for 31 days.
    I've had lots of drunken birthdays in the past so am hoping this will be a sober one for a change
    Can you put me down for 31 Please?

    In the meantime, I'll scan my brain and see if I can remember who I was
    Thank you
    Lou xx
    I used to be broke now I'm just skint

    Morning all!
    Welcome Lou ,
    Good start to Oct , ok so only one day in so far but at the moment I really don’t feel I will wanting a drink over the next few days ,,
    I’m still in knots over BF ,,, didn’t have the chat with so to speak of ,, that’s because I saw another woman’s text come through! This time someone who he deals with via work , I asked him about it and he said it was a on going long joke that a few of them have , but as I’m not feeling 100% secure with him at the moment I’m not sure I believe him ,,,
    Really can’t get my head round it , he’s so not a ladies man , he’s been my rock , we talk every night on FT for ages , I can’t work out if all of a sudden he has changed ( he still insists we are all good ) or he is boosting his male ego as it’s getting a huge spanking from his Ex in the divorce courts ?
    Either way I’m full of anxiety,, so went to chemist and got some herbal Kalming tablets yesterday!
    Sorry to go on and on , but writing all this here is helping me ,
    Oct 1 /20
    :money: I will never be rich but I'm happy :rotfl:
