    Well.......

    Day 2 :dance: :dance:

    Unfortunately I feel worserer than if I had had a drink, as I have MAAAAANFLUUUUUU!!!!

    Hope we are all well today :)

    :DNeigh, neigh, and thrice neigh :D
  • Morning all.
    118 hours and counting!
    Sorry to hear you are not feeling well Lurkio.
    Not too bright myself this morning. Had a row with my wife last night about spending too much time on here :mad: .

    Didn't point out that this was giving me support for giving up while she had drunk a bottle of gin and a couple of bottles of wine in front of me during my 118 hours. Didn't want to make it worse.

    Never mind - anyway I'm pleased not to have gone out and bought some stella!

    Hope everyone else is having a brighter day.

    Well done for NOT saying that BHB! Could have been so easily done and you'd have regretted it. Put it behind you and maybe talk to her calmly later....

    And REALLY well done on not getting beers despite that!!! Way to go, bud!!

    :T :T :T :T

  • oops - in trouble - she just read that herself!

    ah.........:o

  • OK - I admit I was wrong (Not bad for a bloke hey girls ???).
    I have just had it pointed out to me that when she was trying to give up, I kept drinking my beer. So retraction of my moaning in order. Fair dues!
    I was just a little tired and upset, cuase the reason I originally came on the forum was to try and get us out of a pickle money wise.
    I'm now in the doghouse Lurkio :o:o:o:o

    Well done BHB & Lurkio :beer: oops :undecided :j

    Sorry to hear you're in the doghouse BHB and sorry to hear you got [strike]the sniffles[/strike] man-flu lurky :)

    I myself am dying as both my kids have slapped cheek syndrome and have given it to me, my joints are aching and swollen and doc says to me this morning that this is a little of what it feels like to get old :eek: although I'm no longer contagious but have been for the last 3 weeks (I work in a school :eek:)....ah well....I've dosed up with nurofen and am now at work.

    Anyway, sorry I'm going off on a tangent.

    DAY 2 FOR ME!! :T :j :T :j

    Plus after the docs this morning I went and had that blood test for my liver function that doc told me to have....in February :o

    So I'll let you know if alcohol has affected me some time next week :undecided

    Right, better do some work :)

    Well.... seeing as you're blocking pms :rolleyes:

    You've thought of this already :rolleyes: , but I think a visit to the posh chocolate shop/florist etc may be in order :whistle:



    jo - well done you!!!! :T :T And well done for doing the test. Don't worry about it, there may be nothing to worry about. Wait and see what happens first, yeah? :)
