Yeah, but they're now just sitting on top of the microwave.

Vlad, I have started the morning with a big smile here after reading your posts. Yes, those people in the yellow boxes DRIVE you crazy cos you can’t driveacross them!

At least those shot glasses are no longer in the freezer.

Hippie, wine bottles in the freezer also explode well! I’ve never done alcoholic ice cubes! What a thought!

Hi Hope, ( say it quickly sounds like I’m one of the seven dwarves!) welcome aboard.

Deebee, glad to see you. There are 3 green lines on drink tracker now.

AF so far this month for me. My plan is AF on work nights and mods at the weekend.

Love to all as always
Waves

OK, 2 beers it was last night and no more. Going to count my UK units here too, last night amounted to 4.2 units. It actually says on my can of beer that responsible women drinkers shouldn't exceed 2-3 units a day... oops! The NHS states that the recommended maximum for a week is 14 units for a woman, although my private dentist says it's 10! Anyway, as things are done by weeks, I need to also add on the 2 drinks I had Monday.

In that case, total count for this week so far is 8.4 units.

Welcome Waves! The worst of it was, I could see she was going to stop on the yellow box so I turned in front of her and blasted my horn!!!

I need to go and check out how many units I'm drinking. My wine glasses at home are slightly on the "large" side so although I am only drinking one glass a day - who am I really fooling here???

Hi Vlad

You've certainly made me smile this morning reading your thoughts and frustrations. About the units thingy, my Doctor says 21 is fine for women as long as they're spread out over the week (my tally at the time was probably nearer 70 so I was out of that one!!).

I find it easier to go AF if there IS al in the house - if there isn't I panic - how weird is that?

I spoke to my doctor recently and I explained I was now drinking around 20 units a week and he seemed happy and not too concerned... was drinking between 50-60 units before and the stint before that probably around 100.

Funnily enough, if I have vodka in the house, I don't obsess about it as much but I do ending up drinking more and my units clock up to 30 in a week.
