    Morning everybody.:hello:

    What a lovely day.Loads to do today to keep busy and stop me missing DD2.(who is having a great time by the way)

    Dont worry about falling at the first hurdle Jo.I think Mondays are a great day for the start of giving up things and hopefuly you will feel very positive after you have vented forth at the doctors (Poor man :rolleyes: )

    Well done AB for day 2.(Cant you get DS to drink all cans tonight,then he will wake up with hangover and maybe join us on the wagon ,so no more temptation, LOL);)

    Good luck for today all.
    Love Mollypolly xxxx

    If he can afford beer he can afford to leave home can't he?....only joking....

    Don't touch them....stick them out of the way - out of sight until the footie game...plenty of time left to chill them when they're needed..they are NOT needed by you!

    Morning All,
    That wagon is now bursting at the seams.

    Well done everyone. keep up those positive thoughts Jo.

    Chin up Mollypolly - we are all here for you - no need to be lonely - just shout as us! Congrats on the 32 days - don't give in now.

    Nearly bought beer yesterday ...... so close ... opted for the pomegranate juice and fizzy water instead ;)

    Have a great day everyone - watch those wheels on that wagon ! Though apparently it still keeps rolling along with only three wheels on it and the Cherokee after you :rotfl:

    OMG - how old am I?

    Best Wishes

    used to love that song...must find a clip to play to my girls....they'll probably love it as much as Captain Beaky....

    At least he knows that leaving is possible and encouraged!

    Might be an idea to pay close attention to what he does with PCs, DVDs etc so that he's dispensible!! And knows it! Then maybe a rent review???;)

    sorry...woke up this way in a combative mood!

    good for you re the lagers....I used to find that one was never enough and just made me feel bloated...

    notice you've given up the smokes too...well done....look after yourself and remember the golden rule : one day at a time....you are choosing not to drink and smoke today.
