I am once again within the Omeletteville city limits.

This run of temperate behaviour is astonishing, I don't know what's causing it. I've done 7 weeks now.

I've also really reigned my drinking in so far this week.

2 bottles of wine eked out in over 3 days is mighty good going by my standards. box

Once again, 1 down 1 to go. And more than halfway to Omeletteville.

by Fangirl Three Thu Oct 15, 2020 5:56 am

Made it! That's 8 weeks now. Quite unprecedented.

I had too much to drink last night. I'm annoyed with myself.

by Nightjar Tue Oct 27, 2020 12:18 pm

I had none.

Dry Mondays has returned in ernestine.

Luckily I still get an omelette for doing even one drink-free day, which I duly achieved yesterday.

Ooh, me 'ed.

I find if I have one day off, I can have 9 units the next day without getting a hangover.

If I have two days off, the anti-hangover limit is 8.6 units.

The longer the gap, the more yer hangover tolerance declines.

Ahh, the old rolling hangover ploy, y'know.

I've done my DFD for the week.

Although I wish I hadn't fallen off the 2 DFD wagon, the silver lining is that, having got used to doing 2, I find doing 1 is now easy peasy.

by Fangirl Three Thu Nov 19, 2020 9:03 am

As above. Back to 2 DFDs next week.

I'm in an almost hypnotic state of inebriation.

Swaying gently.

Quite compos mentis - senses heightened even - but deffo smashed and woozy.

I have a newish booze regime catalysed by the opening of a mini-Sainsbur' very near me recently.

Two cans of strong, fruity IPA and then wine.

The Satan's lemonade-head dynamic is different from the wine tsunami usual. drown

Despite what they say, beer then wine is my favourite order too when I'm having both, which I don't very often these days.

by Fangirl Three Thu Nov 26, 2020 5:54 am

I have successfully done 2 DFDs this week, again.

But beer before wine is what they say.

- Beer before wine: feel fine.
- Wine before beer: feel queer.
- I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.

When I've had 2 drink free days and an omelette breakfast, I feel absolutely fizzing with Fangirl power super banana

I'm surprised the government don't deploy bazookas and nukes to try and stop me before I become too powerful.

The one I learnt was 'Wine on beer, makes you queer; beer on wine, makes you fine.'

Well, advice wise, you've been sold a right duffer there.

Beer deffo goes before wine.

The other way is proper no no.

Whatever next?

Port before lager: what a palaver!
Lager before port: ooh, what a sort!

Stout before Madeira: couldn't be clearer.
Madeira before stout: touch of the gout.
