FIREWORKS - ANYONE WANT TO JOIN ME FOR 30 DAYS AF

Hi Everyone

Feeling a bit better but still not managing to string many af days together BUT at least I am managing some af time and moderating really well when not af. Am having a very busy time at the moment - well it feels like it as I still lack loads of energy but at least I have got off my backside and managing to do stuff which is a great improvement. Back to the docs again soon so will see what he says. Hopefully I am now on the up and will be back to some sort of normality soon.

Amelia fantastic to hear from you. How is the painting coming along?

Rustop my kids are past that stage but I really feel for you. In saying that I worry just the same but for different reasons - Guess it is a mom thing - But it is very stressful when you can see them heading for a fall and not being able to do much about it. Hope older daughter finds a new boyfriend soon that wont distract her from her studies. Mulled wine after a lovely walk in the snow is tradition:l

Eastender having a kitchen decorated is just the worst because everything is so much more difficult to prepare food wise. It will be worth it though and think of it as not having to do any spring cleaning as it will all be fresh and clean. Hmmmmmmmm think you need to bang those 2 kids heads together and get some sense into them. :l loads of strength coming your way. Well done on your 7 days you are doing much better than me

Lukalee great to see you back posting:l

To all the other crackers loads of love and support coming your way

Hi Firecrackers

Great to hear you sounding more like yourself Sweetpea and well done on getting some AF days. Sometimes we get in a rut and its hard to dig ourselves out of it. I read on another thread "the only failure is to fail to keep trying". We are all triers here on the Sweetpea express and I am so thankful for all of your support.

Hi everyone,
Rustop I am so jealous away in Madrid!!!! hope you have a great time.
Sweetpea the kitchen is almost done hopefully by Friday. Have not been able to get to computer covered in dustsheets during the day, catching up with work by night. Sounds like a familiar saying in Shrek! Feel like I have two Shreks in the house at moment. But its taking shape and will be well polished come spring. (If all goes well)
Thanks to you Amelia for letting us know how Teardrop is. If you are reading Tear have been thinking of you and send you love and luck. Keep eye out for feathers, asked an angel to look over you:l
Lukalee my little monkey are you out there? How are you.
Not doing great last three days have danced with Al a little too much, More than I would like but striving for as many AF days this month as I can, Hanging on by the skin of my teeth!

Take care Eastxxxx

Hi everyone

A very quiet week on the Sweetpea Express.

Hope you are having a lovely time in Madrid Rustop and looking forward to hearing all about it

East just think how lovely everything is going to be when they have finished. You won't know what to do with yourself when everything is all sparkling and new - Just a thought maybe you could come and help me with my spring cleaning:H Hmmmmm ok maybe not. Know what you mean about al I just can't seem to get kick started into a long stretch of af time. But I am perservering

Lukalee how are you doing

Teardrop thinking of you:l

To all the other crackers have a great weekend

Hi Firecrackers

Had a lovely time in Madrid, cold but sunny. Spent some quality time with the teenagers and we did not kill one another. Mainly because I just went with the flow and let them shop!! Bought two books and read them and had some nice meals out. Stayed mainly AF while there but the old reward myself routine came into play when I got back and overdid it!!! Why, why, why. I really need to get my act together. Lent starts on Wednesday and thats a good excuse to say you are staying AF. Anyone else thinking of starting again?

Welcome Patricia, let us know how you are doing. Hope your kitchen is finished East. Sweetpea, hope you are feeling better. Off to catch up on some of the posts.

Hi Everyone,
Kitchen/ diner laundry finished and now moved on to living room!.Today most of furniture short of sofas have been moved elsewhere making house still upside down and well dust from "rubbing down" is hard to get rid of, thanks to microfibre cloths trying to keep on top. Apart from my office (which I have refused to let them start on yet) this is the last living space. Daughter is back in her own room,when she is here, which is hardly ever.
The outside of the house is yet to be rendered and painted but will not be as bad I hope.
So three floors, even my builder said "I was coping so well!" I think he means I have not shot him yet. Got close a few times:H
Anyway not so good on the drinking that reward thing as Rustop says,We can make some pretty good excuses eh?
Glad that you had a good time Rustop I can't wait to get away. started getting some bits already. What is it that you have to shop in winter for summer clothes and summer for winter, Crazy.
Trying to still be Af as many days although not much of February left! Will keep going into March, Just one day is far better than none. Managing 2-3 at a go just lately but cave so easily.
Sweetpea you know that you can do it when you put your mind to it, you have before. Admire you for managing to moderate. My brain does not understand the meaning of that phrase past the first one!
Great to see you here Patricia and keep posting with your progress.:l
Lynnl :welcome: to Sweetpeas Express. My kit took around a week to arrive. Let us know when you receive it . I wish you well.

Oh well back to the microfibres!

Take care and lots of love from Eastxxxxxx

My package arrived yesterday. I had cold sweats, but not as bad as I would have thought. I started meds yesterday, starting full dose today. Looking forward to seeing results. I slept almost through the night. Will keep in touch.:l

Hi Firecrackers

Well done Lynnl, the first few days are the hardest. It does help to have a plan. Lent started today and I WILL BE AF for the coming 6 weeks. I said on another thread the other day that I planned to be and someone who has been AF for sometime told me to say I WILL BE, much more positive.

I have gone back listening to the cd's and taking the supplements. Dashing this morning as I have to take my car to the garage. Hope you are all doing ok and good luck Lynnl on Day 2. Glad the house is nearly finished East, enjoy it when it is. Getting 2 or 3 days is better than drinking every day, remember take it ODAT. Hope all is well with you Sweetpea. Lukalee, check in and let us know how you are doing.
