Thanks Meshelly for posting that, it helps to make me realise whilst sat here that there would be no gain and only self loathing if I did give in to any temptation due to feeling like I'm being a right boring git here. Feel like friends are wishing they'd not bothered inviting us and the wife trying to gee me up to liven up a bit (not by drinking) - normally I'd be life and soul but just sat here wanting to be quiet and finding it difficult to get in the mood for chatting.
