Giving Up/Cutting Down Alcohol Thread Part 17

CuppaTea

1/10 for me please.

@Mollypolly1956 I use some of the old emojis! Not this month though I don't think. A good many vanished off the website when it was revamped three or so years ago and now going back over old threads you can't tell what they were because the links are broken. The "swinging star" one from last month was one Shaggydoo used to use.

Mollypolly, glad you are feeling at home. In the early days of the thread we didn't use smilies like Cathybird does for the monthly and yearly totals.  I wonder if you mean smilies from the old forum like the blue shriek and dodgy hug emojis? Unfortunately we got upgraded to this new forum which doesn't work as well as a user although it's probably a lot better in important ways we can't see. The forums lost a lot of folk at that point but it's a while ago now so I'm just about used to it now.

Hi all, 2/29 today. Sun's out and that's not bad!

2/27 for me today please. The sun was shining here first thing, but the clouds are gathering.

My bunting is flying, it's my grandson's birthday today, and I'm hoping to get a visit this afternoon. Happy days.

That's true WBF, I was almost forgetting the old forum's smileys! I still use the blue shriek very occasionally but it's harder to use than it used to be. @Mollypolly1956 there are still smileys available on the website - there's a smiley among the tools at the top of the comment box and if you click on the down arrow to the right of it you'll see the selection. WBF is right, the choice is not as good as it was with the old forum. I think when they revamped they had to get rid of some old features and the animated smileys were one of them, so the new smileys are not animated.

Good afternoon.
2/25 please cathybird. Thank you. X

My road had a Jubilee 🇬🇧 tea party this afternoon and I did debate having a couple of glasses of Pimms but had  Nosecco sparkling 'wine' instead, it felt just as festive and I had a strawberry in my glass (no cucumber though 😃).

Hiya

Well here I am drinking a glass of TRIP > absolutely love it. ordered lots more from Holland and Barrett. I feel this is really going to help me.
I felt really good today. More like my old self. 

I am a bit worried about tomorrow as I have two Jubilee parties to go to. See how it goes but feeling really proud of myself today.

2/10 for me please @cathybird.

Take care of you
Mollypolly
