Hi all again. Well had a couple of days off the beer & feel alot better for it, although didn't get a wink of sleep last night:( . Think this was more to do with sleeping most of Monday rather than not having a beer. Having a can now & will probably have one more but it's gonna be an early night tonight,I'm shattered! Hope everyone else is ok!Hi all, well I was a
boy yesterday:o ! After just having 1 or 2 cans a night all week I really let myself go. Went to the local for dinner with OH,DD & my Mum. OH & my Mum were on the wine,whilst I was drinking lager. My Mum paid for the food whilst we paid for the drinks. Spent way too much but my Mum gave us some money towards the drinks,but I didn't want her too as I feel like a charity case but she insisted,we will buy her some flowers as a Thank You. Anyway we stayed there for a few drinks & should have called it a day at that,but I didn't call it a day & had a few cans when I got in. I walked my Mum home & by this time common sense had gone out the window & I went to the local Working Mans Club with my Dad. So basically I was on the p!ss from 3pm til midight:o ! Felt really rough today & been asleep most of the day. OH at work tonight & tomorrow & there's plenty of beer in the house,but going to try & stay off it all week. To think though that I used to get into that state every weekend is frightening. I absolutely hate wasting days through having a hangover. As I said before we have a wedding do to go to in a couple of weeks,but shouldn't overdo it there,but I know that my Cousin's stag day at the end of the month is going to be the big test. Hope everyone else is doing ok.Debt at LBM(July 1st 07)-£35,053.92 Debt on 1st Anniversary of LBM(July 1st 08)-£33,170.11 (31st January 09)-£32,318.73Paid off so far £2,735.19(7.8%) Average paid off p.m. £143.95 L/H supporter 115 DFD target February 2018 DFD March 2028.

Well my `problem` days in the week are over.
Tuesday is the only evening that I sit down and actually watch a TV programme EVERY week. I`m not a soap addict. But normally its with at least a can, and I didn`t.
Wednesday is the evening that I play badminton & seeing as I`ve been good & exercised, I have at least a can, again! But I didn`t.
Just got weekends to deal with.
Think I might try & get round to relisting on Amazon, on Sat & Sunday afterwork may try & go see a friend.
Day 4/31 May (this is the aim & by then should be a habit, rather than the cider, which is habit & boredom!)Living debt free, since Sept 08 & Dec 10 :wall:
