Phew you volunteered - I was ALMOST at the thinking about it stage but I am away a bit in Aug and know I would be rubbish.

Well done you

Old habits die hard - out last night after 9pm straight to the corner shop - 2 cans cider (v strong). Drank in about half hour - IDIOT.

Why - ??????? GC and others you are so right - French student put a glass of wine in my hand at dinner 8pm - I almost refused and thought - OK one won't hurt.

No brainer eh - then I thought OK had one need/want more.

Purse will be in the office tonight - without a doubt. Idiot.

No hard time - been tossing and turning all night (when I made it to bed) fell asleep on sofa til 2am. Woken up several times through the night.

This WAS my life and I WONT go back there - stern telling off to self.

My excuse in my head - ? DD birthday am missing kids - to be honest the only excuse I needed was that it was Monday and I wanted more drink after the first drink.

Note to self - don't accept the first drink.

MP you'd think by now I'd have that one sussed eh?

Fay, you are not an idiot. We all know the hold alcohol has over us, or we wouldn't be on this thread! I ALWAYS enjoy that first drink (or used to:rotfl:) for the feeling it gave me. But then I just used to carry on, and on and on. Its fatal. Lots of ((hugs))

YM - love the piggies! Looks just like me dancing

I was wondering if I could ask for some moral support and motivation from you all......as a bit of a motivational goal, I've signed up for the Manchester 100km Cycle Ride on September 6th

http://www.bike-events.com/Ride.aspx?id=208

Please be aware this isn't a covert request for sponsorship - I'm not actually doing it for charity, it's just for me (But maybe next year I'll have the begging bowl out).

All I'm asking for is a bit of a push, and a bit of motivation.

Hi GP, you've tempted me out of lurkerdom. I did the London to Southend bike ride the day before yesterday. 60 miles (100km) and I really enjoyed it (apart from the last 5 miles into the wind). Have never cycled anywhere near that far before (daily commute is c.15 miles round trip through the stop-start London traffic) and I did it in 4 and a half hours which included 3 stops for water and bananas. Magic magic bananas. You can do it!

Hi everybody else, doing OK here. Was planning to have a month AF before the bike ride but that went for a burton. Have succeeded in continuing to be moderate in consumption, tho' not many AF days. The curse of the scorer eh?

Take care,

HS

Miss P.

As you are now AF you will have so much extra time on your hands that scoring will be a doddle.

Good luck.

Thats so true RA. I'm up till 11 most nights now. You wouldn't believe that drinking takes up so much time!
