Thanks for letting us know, PM. I know it's blooming awful when you see how much you drank when it's written down in black and white (I know I did). Wishing you strength for the next few days.

Good luck as well to Pompey tonight. I hardly dare tell you but I'm a Magpie. That's right I'm one of the Toon Army. Will you still 'speak' to me.

Evening PM,

I am really happy to read your last post and I wish you all the luck in the world to get through the next few days and over the weekend, you can do it that's for sure. You have so much to aim for now and it's simply ODAT. Lots of people really are rooting for you so suck up all those positive, supportive vibes and keep going. :l

PM, I can sense a real change in your tone now. You sound so much more positive, less sad and all I can say to that is a jolly great
Well done PM
I think of you many times during the day and send up a little prayer for you.
I too was a chalkie...it was at Teachers' College I started serious drinking (Yay the Cricket and Footy Clubs) and of course, once teaching it was Friday night, down the Pub/Club and drink till stumps.
Still have vague memories of dancing on a table at the Leopold to "Smoke on the Water."
Well, you know what they say about teachers?
Adults among children; children among adults.
I've a busy day, but I'll be thinking of you.
Love and best wishes. You're not alone.

:goodjob: pompeyman and Pompey,
Funny how a win at football can lift the spirits. You should have seen Mr JC's face when the Toon lost against Stoke.

Forewarned is forearmed, wishing you strength.
