  • I had written a super long post on here last night (well early hours this morning after work) but instead of pressing enter I pressed something else and lost it all :mad: so thought I would give it another go.

    You are doing really great with the 'getting yourself organised' I need to take a leaf out of your book. I ordered my mum a slanket the other day for Mothers Day aswell, got a feeling that when I see it I will want one though. Have you got yours yet?

    Well done on the refusing a takeout that's willpower for you. Let us know how the no drinking goes, That's quite a lot of money that you will save, GOOD LUCK xx

    Mmm...wine! Actually, I'm a bit sick of it as well as I can't deal with any form of hangover any more. I mean, it's not like I drink a lot, but I realise that nothing is quite as 'focused' the morning after any more, even after one glass, which means that I'm not as efficient as I want to be when I get up (and doesn't bed seem like the better option the morning after the night before?!)

  • Yes Pickle i feel a bit fuzzy this am! I drink a bottle then spend half an hour drinking squash to sober up!!!!!! Its going to have to go!!!!x
  • I am loving reading your diary! Have started from the beginning, so it is taking a while but very much enjoying it so far.

    Goodluck with giving wine up for Lent, just think about how much money you will have saved by the end of it :T Although, I am finding giving up chocolate VERY hard. All I can think about is chocolate cake and bars of galaxy...
