    Wow I had a craving and a half last night!!! Didn't succumb tho and will probably have a glass tonight with friends. Feel better about that!

    Hope everyone has a really good weekend - I'm going away so probably won't be around for a few days.

    can i join, as im fed up of promising to cut back on alchol, then the same night ending up having one or two to relax and then hey presto the bottle has gone!
    i really want to get rid of the excess fat and the headaches that i wake up with.
    so wish me luck!
    :A :j
  • Fatal ? They didn't tell me that :eek: :eek: :eek:

    They just said it was much worse than womanflu :p:p:p
