I really dislike regimented formal gardens Molly, if thats any consolation. Mother nature does a fine job I reckon without square hedges and perfectly straight rows.

I now have an incredible urge to go to the garden centre but I can't.

Reason 1. It's fecking miles away and I haven't got the car

Reason 2. Lack of funds 'til payday.

Mornin' JC & Mollerooney.
Molls - YES YES YES to the LBD.
You are tall thin - it will be soooooooo elegant !
Jazz it up with heels, jewellery , scarf & jacket . Job done .:goodjob:

Morning Satz, ya snuck in there.

Gawd she mithered on for weeks before hand. Her accessories were a different colour.

Oh and it wasn't because she didn't like the girl he was marrying.

Yep thats me to a tee, addictive personality. Just trying to make sure any new ones are healthy.

Now that said, its my last day's holidays and I am meeting a mate for late lunch in town. Planning on getting some of the grass cut before I go seeing as its actually not raining for a change. Leave you ladies to your lbd talk

Absolutely Tabs - AGREE TOTALLY.
We have a wood across from us - Squirrel Wood - and it's our only bit of nature. Few years ago FAS had a course & they started to 'manicure' the feckin' wood. Cutting trees - putting in fencing FFS . All the squirrels disappeared .
The money ran out for FAS - the 'workers' disappeared & the squirrels returned.
Order was restored :goodjob:
Now the squirrels are robbing the milk !!!! :H

You are lovely, Molls.

I've now got me busy head on at last. Brown bread, lentil soup and a rhubarb crumble to be made.

Ohh I'll be back later for a good auld rant about building on the Green Belt near us. Grrrrrrrrr

WELCOME BACK Ms Bear .
Well done on the 'ol keeping to the few and to bed . It CAN be done and is possible for some to do it !!! I know this is not suitable for a lot of folks on here and total AF forever is the only option.
But I am hoping to be one of those that can have a glass of wine IF I want one - when everyone else is having one & disregard it when there is nothing on or I don't fancy it!

Fixating on counting days for the rest of my life - beating myself up if I break those days & starting 'day 1' again - is not for me ! I am speaking about just ME at this moment in time!

Haven't had one of them since the time we went on holidays for 3 weeks and came home to bout 50 bottles of rancid milk. Now at ANY stage of putting the last 45 of those bottles down outside the house did that milkman think 'well, maybe they've enough for now'
Had a lovely chat with Jackser and then a lovely chat with the washing machine man. So now, I'm DEFINITELY shopbound ---- friggintesco's here I come

Not my milk Molls - but some neighbours who don't work - they have gone back to getting milk, cream & eggs delivered . Go figure !!

AND :
Having said all that. It was only a few months ago I couldn't see myself going through an evening without a drink ; then that moved to a weekend without a drink ; then a girlie night away without a drink ; then listening to my SIL at a Sunday lunch without a drink was unheard of - I have now mastered all of these :yay:
SO ............. any ingrained habit or belief can be changed eventually IMHO
