I've been wanting a baileys since about 10am - that is more to do with the cold though!

My GP once told me that a gin a tonic improved the whingeing unhappy hours between about 5 and 7 and she'd strongly recommend one. Didn't even go for advice either! If it makes you feel better mine are a much bigger now but off to start the ironing in a minute and shall be taking a lovely chilled glass of sauvignon with me.

NOOOOOO - go to the Brave Babes Battle Bus thread on this site. It will scare you into not doing it!!!

duckduck Grin Have one!!

If for some bizare reason you don't like your kids seeing you drinking alcohol (can't see why myself but I know some folk don't), stick it in a tumblar and tell them it's juice if they ask!! Or put juice in a wine glass, it is actually almost as good for me, I loooooooooooooove my tall (large) beautiful wine glasses (M&S own £1 - LOL)

Freakoid - do you drink coffee? If you do, perk some and put the Baileys in deeeevine!! Nice little 10am pick me up Grin Needs to be a real treat though, you have to knock it on the head when you start doing it daily Grin

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh OK.... thank god... (I think I was secretly thinking someone might tell me off) Cheers to one and all. I cannot go on for a minute longer with the sodding theme tune to Yoko Jakomoto Toto going round my head, my DD's flaming music box tinkling at me, the table football clattering, the smell of football boots in my nose and the two year old eating purple paint. Good - salvation in a bottle with a completely clear conscionce (good - can't spell and haven't even started yet. Will look up the BBBB thread when I have reached the bottom of the lable....

Phew... Thank you xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

dementedma - maybe duckduck doesn't need scaring off by the brave babes battle bus? Just had a look, what they are doing is v inspiring - if you have an addiction...

oh blimey, misread the "it'll scare you into not doing it" in my haste and thought it was a pro-yard arm shifting thing.... nuts, just when I thought it was safe to go to the fridge....

It's been a long a stressful day.
