Late posting today- oops!

Hey,

Happy New Year to you and a massive well done on continuing to progress day by day. It really is day 51 and the time does fly. Just a quick scan back shows how far you have come too.

Looking forward to journeying through 2013 with you 🙂

Day 52

Time has flown so quickly. I've not been paying so much attention to my diary for the past couple of days- too busy with family!

Tbh- not much to report. I had 2nd thoughts about alcohol at Hogmanay and stuck to soft drinks. Decided to stay at home with my son and quietly welcomed 2013.

Yesterday was a different matter!! Family dinner at sister's. Few wines and out to pub for a while- ooph suffering today lol.

My fears that alcohol would trigger urges were unfounded and not an issue this time- was too busy talking rubbish to think about gambling!

Me n Paddy having a "duvet day". He'll have a mega walk tomorrow as a reward for being lazy with me today.

Dont start back my "real work" till Monday but nightshift in my "other" job Fri/Sat- so will need to make the most of tomorrow.

Hi Irene,

Thank u 4 ur post on my diary 🙂

It was good 2 catch up with u in chat 🙂

I hope u enjoyed the choc 🙂

Speak soon xx

Hi Irene,

Totally relate...I didn't go out new year either...and..alcohol...talking s**t....LOL

Love duvet days...make the most cos you will soon be working your b**t off!

After much consideration have decided to join an on line dating agency...what have I let myself in for eh! Been single for way too long (nearly 5 years) and decided I will be way too selfish if I dont start now...god wish I was a teenager again!

Fingers crossed(not legs) LMAO!

Thanks buds x

Day 53

I think yesterday's hangover's persisting-either that or coming down with something 🙁

Best laid plans and all that- another day mostly at home. Feel absolutely knackered.

No major gambling urges- managed to take the Christmas tree down without crying lol.

Insurance guy was out to assess my damaged ceiling- only needs repainted and an electrician to fix the lights.

Like others here, I've decided not to sit and let life pass me by. Arranged to play badminton weekly with a friend from work. I've also downloaded a wee app on my phone to help with a running programme- that'll be a hoot. (so long as I can stop for a cig and mars bar I'll be fine!) I think I'm allergic to exercise but hey I'm not getting any younger so I'll try and beat last year's attempt where I lasted 3 weeks running.

My son hopes to fly the nest this year. So much of my life has been being a mum- it'll be strange to just be "me" again- I'll need to rediscover who that "me" is!

What I do know is "me" doesn't want to be hooked to online slots!

Wish I was still off and hope your enjoying your time off. Least its a.short week to get through.

hi Irene got booted form chat last nite as well and couldn't get back on hope all going ok thanks for the post still hanging in ther x
