Have finally read everything. What a lot to catch up on!
Welcome from me too, Lellow and Darkheart. Darkheart, are you sure I didn't write your first post for you?!
Bloody Hell, Frouby. I am in awe of your winnings. I'd have been taking gin in a tin to DofE, too. I'm jealous of your DD doing it. Mine prefers to spend her time usefully, watching eyebrow tutorials on YouTube.
Chooco, I also must have Easter on my mind, as I turned you into Choco, too. Sorry! 3 AF nights is excellent. I suffer from anxiety, too, so I know how you feel.
Anglaise, it sounds as if you are back on track.
Longest, I'm glad the infection is clearing up. And thanks for telling me where my post went!!
Flossie, big hugs to you for your virus, and a kick up the bum to your DH.
NC4, v glad to hear about blood results, but not so glad to hear that you are feeling down.
Canshop, I hope you're getting over the car smash. They are just horrible.
Here, I barely have a minute to do anything ATM, with both DC here. They have both resorted to toddler behaviour (they are about 14 years too old for this, for newcomers' info). Every time I give attention to one, the other needs me NOW, THIS MINUTE. If I say they need to wait a minute, I get the whole "you prefer him/her" thing. FML a thousand times over. DD's friends are all away, so she is hanging around the house like a hanging around thing. DS's friends aren't local. So arguing with one another is the only thing worth doing.
Anyway.
I managed Day One on Sunday, following an entire bottle of red on Saturday. Yesterday, I was full of good intentions, and had half a bottle of white.
However... I ordered my miracle wonder-herb on Saturday, and it arrived on Sunday (I paid 99p extra for an Amazon Prime week's trial). I have taken four of the buggers today - and I have not drunk the other half bottle. Ha! I am now completely reformed, and will never drink again. 😂😂😂 I'm bloody determined that this herb is going to work, as it cost me the best part of £30 (though given the amount I have spent on gin in the past couple of years, it's peanuts really).
It helps that DP is away with work, so he can't put temptation in my way. But this is two nights out of three, which is (for me) a big achievement.
