    Would you jump into a car with a complete stranger? Would you go home with a complete stranger that you've only just met?

    Quite powerful stuff!

    Er...well yes I would/have...not drinking doesn't seem to have readjusted my moral compass I'm afraid........:eek: :eek: :eek: Its good not to hug the loo and throw up everywhere anymore though...bad old days indeed.

    Feeling perky and chipper this morning-well I was until ex OH rang chuffed to bits that he has just picked up a complete winemaking set up from freecycle- when he got there little old lady explained it was her husbands hobby but as he died recently she wants to clear the garage-theres tons of the stuff, demijons, pipes, packets of chemicals, thermometers, guide books...all for free!!! The best bit was she apologised that she hadn't had time to clean the demijons and that they were all still full of wine...could he take them anyway...gallons of the stuff!!! When I think about all the money I've spent on the bloody stuff, and now I've given up its free!!!!Sods law I suppose.

    Best of luck to everyone today.[/quote]

    it's not without personal cost...therefore it's not free...keep away!

    day 2 of no sweet stuff...

    went to bed early last night, grumpy cos I wanted to indulge....politely turned down daughter's mint and caused upset but ate tomatoes instead.

    oddly enough, never really liked wagon wheels....

    Hello all, just popping in to say hi and thanks for the warm welcome. Hope you've all had a good day. I've felt pretty good today after af day 2. Debating what to do tonight, could have my set amount under my 'plan' or could try for 3 days. The good thing is that since I've now got a plan I could do either so the pressure's off. Anyway, hope you all have a good one.
    :T Well done alisong - the good thing is the choice :D

    See how you go - if you feel like going for three later - then go for it :D

    As you say - pressure's off

    Best Wishes
    BHB
