[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 299668, member: 1991"] G'day, folks. Sharon/WO, congrats on the continued fitness efforts and lack of holiday sabotage. That's good when it works well even while you're away. Trish, sounds like you've had a tricky day with organisation. Regrding DS breaking the rules re alcohol - what formal agreement do you have in place with him? Because if you have someting nailed in place, you need to follow thourgh. If it's not nailed in place, you need to do so. But whatever consequences you make, they need to be ones you can honestly implement and ones he is able to understand. It's not just a case of, "If you break the rules, leave," it needs to be "If you break the rules - you will pack a bag and spend the next night in X location." And it needs to be something that you can put in place, even if it's just a homeless shelter in the nearby town. It's not easy. An alternative - he can stay, if he goes to AA. But again, you need to have somewhere else liined up for him to move to. We've had an interesting day. easy child 2/difficult child 2 turned up with one of her bridesmaids to do some more adjusting of her dress. That bridesmaid's dress has been more difficult to fit than the others. I didn't see her before she left so I don't know how much they got done. I had a meeting to attend, some politics involved. I was a bit apprehensive as to how it was gonig to pan out but when it came down to it, the problem people were no-shows so those of us there to work were uninterrupted. Tomorrow is another sewing-for-the-wedding day. I'm leaving early to go collect easy child 2/difficult child 2 then driving over to the other side of Sydney to work on the flowergirl's dress. I did a lot of driving yesterday, more today and now more tomorrow. I tihnk I'll be glad of a rest by Monday! Still, it will be good to see my sister toomorrow - the flowergirl is her granddaughter, she's going to finish the dress for us. So we'll get a good visit in as well as some effective work done. I got a surprise phone call today from a former client (who wants a repeat job done). She's also offered me a role in her upcoming play. Not sure if I'm flattered or worried... We've had over a week now of this glorious spring weather. Any cold snap now will be more of a cool patch in early spring, rather than the last stand of winter. No matter what the calender says, it's definitely spring here now. Enjoy your Saturday. Marg [/QUOTE]
