Would you (and the family) normally have been drinking when you got together? It really is a social lubricant, and it's only when we cut back or stop that we realise just how irritating a lot of people can be!

7/31 please, Shaggy.

Yes Honey bear I find that with my friends. No have been feeling a bit miffed lately about how much I do at home. My kids who live at home are all adults but it’s still ‘mum what’s for tea’ every night. My OH spends a lot of his time lying on the bed watching telly as sitting hurts his back. I think I get so p*ssed off at times it’s a reason why I reach for the wine bottle. I need to man up and make them do things or do a Shirley Valentine. My favourite film! Will be putting my feet up for five days on Friday, but will be constantly worrying about my pooches.

Thanks Glendasugarbean.

Forgot to say 3/16 please Shaggy.

Thanks all. I’ve preventative plans for every evening through until Sunday. But that will be day 12. As long as I eat early it seems to be ok.

Awful nights sleep though. Kept waking up and didn’t feel like I had much deep sleep.

Well done GreenKaren for your brilliant run of days. That’s amazing. 31 seems huge for me but I’m just looking at 1 day at a time.

I’ve lost 2lbs this week. Nothing’s changed except no drinking. However I can’t afford to lose any really, so I need to be mindful I don’t lose anymore. Sorry that’s really annoying for those that are dieting. I understand how hard it is for some.

That would really annoy me too. It might be time to sit everyone down and explain how you feel and that you’re not a servant to them all. Adult children can stay in a child role without meaning too. Time to sort out a rota?
