    Hiya gang,

    I hope you've all had a relaxing evening.

    Sorry for not posting for a while, but I've been trying to get a new job!

    I've gone for the TeleTech jobs, having found the info on the Jobs board, so I've now passed my assessments, and I'm all set for a phone interview tomorrow at 1pm :j

    I'm going for both the Inbound Sales Rep and Customer Service Rep jobs, but the interview tomorrow, is for the Sales post :T

    Feeling quietly confident, and best of all I'm still sober.

    I last had a drink a week, a week last Saturday, so that's pretty good for me ... 10 days, here we are! :A

    Good Luck to you all,

    Lots of Love,

    Leigh x

    Leigh,

    Hunny, you don't need a drink, you might be craving one but think about it, you'll have a drink and then feel s*** about having one, then find out that the problem is still there when you're sober. Easy for me to say I know, and I'm not the best role model :rolleyes:

    Do you have broadband, aren't there any other ways around this? Explain to your dad that you're trying to get your life together and you rely on his support.

    Please keep posting :)

    xx

    hi shopaholic- dont give up hope just yet hon. I bled throughout my first pregnancy, on and off. So heavily at times that my bed/sheets were covered in blood one morning. I had to have scans throught out my preg but baby Coby was born a bouncing 8 pound 3 oz at the end of it all. Wait until fri when you know for sure - hard I know. Thinking of you anyway.

    day 3 for me - and when I went out on sunday I only had 2 small glasses!

    Hi all,sorry I've not posted for a while. Drank quite alot over the weekend,but nowhere near as much as I used to & whilst getting quite merry on Monday,I knew when to stop. Went out with OH for a bite to eat at the Wetherspoons in town & used some vouchers that arrived through the post a while back & then had one or two in the local pubs nearby. It did us good to be honest as it is the first time that we've been out alone this year! Had a couple of cans & a few bottles left over from the weekend & both finished those off last night whilst watching the footy. OH at work all week now on nights & there's no alcohol in the house til we go shopping on Friday,so it will be nice to have a break from it! Hope you are ok shopaholic. Hope everyone else is doing ok.
