Im rubbish at fibbing........

[Smithy1980]

Hi all

Im a bit stuck about what to say to people tonight. Last week we went out for drinks with friends, obviously I wasnt smoking or drinking as normal, so got round it all by saying that I was on call (which I do every 6 weeks) to avoid the drinking and new years resolution to stop smoking...........I think they all bought it

Anyway, this evening we are again going out for a meal with the same bunch of friends and I havent a clue what to say about not drinking.........given that they know me well, I think they're all gonna wonder whats going on??

Does anyone have any tips for what to say to people? Im hoping we wont have to see them again after tonight until after 12 weeks (in the nicest possible way!!! Lol)

Thanks as always

Ali xx

Heya,

My suggestions would be:

Easy (but short-term solution) - you've had a headache all day and took painkillers. You don't want to drink in case it sets the headache off again, nor combine alcohol with the tablets

More difficult fib (but longer-term solution) - you have decided to take January off from drinking to recover from Christmas (I work in London in an industry known for heavy drinking, and several people in my office do it each year).

More diffficult fib (but better solution) - you are getting really, really bad hangovers these days, and are thinking about giving up alcohol.

Hope these help.

Clare.

haha WELL, we went for the meal and all was well, just said I was driving as trying to save money after chrimbo.......taxi drive of 20 mins home, so made sense

After meal everyone was heading to the pub so I just went for one, made my excuses and left......tbh I was about fit to burst.........I always am after a curry!!

So all went well............I managed to pull it off

thank you for all your wonderful 'excuses' they should keep me going until 12 weeks xx
