    I had to log on quick to report summat I just noticed...

    I suffer with bad excema on my hands, just looked at em and it's gone! I actually had to wear plasters on one of my fingers for 4 days cos it kept bleeding last week. Do you reckon the not drinking has improved it?

    Right gotta go out!!

    God, I'm really struggling today, I think weekends are the worst!

    I've covered myself till 8pm at least as I said I'd go and pick up DD1 from her boyfriends so I couldn't drink yet anyway. I never normally offer cos the thought having to wait half the night to drink cos I've got to drive is way too much!

    So, I've got a couple of mags to read, a bath to have, dinner to eat and choklit to eat...that should keep me busy till bedtime :D Had such a good nights sleep last night, 9 hours of uninterupted sleep :)

    Hang on in there Jo.

    It is only a few hours after 8 until you go to sleep and as you have not had one for a while you will have a rubbish sleep as you will be up all night P*ddling.:D

    Day 2 for me and at work again

    Enjoy your evening folks

    Evening all! Sure that the eczema will improve as dehydration is rubbish for skin plus the chemicals wont do much good either! Well done fr planning & resisting! Well done BHB for not having a tinny after the mowing! Something about warm day & a shandy!! Mt T today & resisted fags & the alch isle so happy with that! Been a very good DFW & spent much of the day washing, cleaning, shopping (food, market & lidl!) & making marmalade to sell plus looking on o/s for inspiration. Determined to get the GB down! Make the hobnobs yesterday & theyre delicious but weighed myself which was NOT pretty!

    Well done Jo:T

    End of week three for me and I really should be feeling great but actually am feeling really down.
    This weekend has been really hard and I have been so tempted to open a bottle of wine.
    Do you think me feeling depressed could be withdrawal or am I just a moody cow!!!

    Also does anyone know why when I click on all smilies I get a list up but when I click on one it doesnt insert onto page?
