Well, here we are again. I've spent a whole day dealing with shoppers and have coped, apart from (apparently) getting a bit insane with one visitor I know quite well who I gave a half hour lecture to on chinese food - I could see her starting to glaze over. The funny thing was I knew I was going over the top and on and on but couldn't stop - she was quite OK. Apart from that I'm feeling fine.
There have been some fascinating posts on this thread showing the different attitudes to drink. Some of you have been affected by your own or someone close's drinking, some are happy the way you are, some want chocolate. I just want to get control, get out of the habit drinking (is it 6pm yet??), and get back to where I can go out for a meal and share a bottle with OH, without both of us looking for a second bottle. I appreciate red wine is good for me but not at the levels I was drinking. And the late night snacking it led to - I don't even like chocolate but ate a whole box full of coffee (yes, coffee) chocolates on Sunday because I had been drinking, followed by half a pack of Pringles. No wonder it can lead to young girls getting into trouble (family forum!) - I just said 'yes' to pointless food.
