af day Saturday 10 Nov
KY - well done to your daughter - I have a 14 year old who has to work hard to achieve and this year she has realised that it is she who needs to work and is doing it - she is seeing the difference and is so proud - it is good to see! It is hard when she seems surrounded by kids who do well without apparently trying too hard. Sorry for your struggle last night - the demons were screaming at me last night - it was so good to get up this morning knowing I had won!
Shue, congrats on your anni - enjoy!
Mick - candies, now you took me back. My grandparents lived opposite a newspaper shop in Aberdeen and we used to be able to walk to get a wee poke, and I had a vivid recollection of butter hards! American candy just doesn't compare to British sweeties:H.
Kept busy with errands and odd jobs today, put the flannel on my bed! Tomorrow shopping with a 14yo and 11yo girls - that would be a great excuse for wine afterwards, will have to get myself a different treat. Monday is a holiday, we may all go to seee Skyfall - it has just come out over here, I love Bond movies and we all are big fans of Adele, so I might just open the girls to a whole new world - that of 007!
PM'd Det some ways to lure a haggis to his plate, wonder if he will feel the same when he sees what he has to do to make one :H
Fresh eggs - the best, oooh those yellow yolks - the ones in the store are positvely anaemic!
Well, Saturday evening approaching - have a treat in cupboard, found a bottle of Ribena, off to make a warm Ribena - yummy! stay warm and safe everyone....

I put my ribbon on the wall and it's looking mighty fine there.
But feel free to keep trying. :H I'm glad you too are realizing in advance the temptation. It's almost too bad you didn't used to drink disastrously on holidays then as it sounds like your Al brain might be trying to convince you it wouldn't be so bad. But after 100+ days off you can't be sure it wouldn't be a lot worse than it was in the past and, worse, you'd lose your new found AF confidence and motivation and I can BET you it wouldn't be easy to just get back to it when you got home because that whole addictive cycle would have started up again. Please don't do it!!!!!!!!!! Sit down NOW and plan some strategies. Visualise how great it will be to get through your holiday AF. I think I mentioned that I wrestled so much with whether or not to drink on my last holiday and I did and, you know what, the worst bits were related to Al. You will enjoy yourself more AF. Fact.
