    Managed to get home without alcohol! Bells are tolling but have no money whatsoever and shop that will give me credit shuts in 20 mins. Just done kids double egg and chips cos they were starving, I do feed them by the way, and couldnt wait for the chicken stew that im making completely out of organic box delivered today! Even got organic mash and cabbage to go with it, then an organic fruit salad with yog. Oh then chocolate thats not organic! Roll on bed time...

    Jo, avoid the shop! And focus on how great it is to have all that lovely organic stuff & no alcohol to pickle up your insides ;)

    Good evening,

    I have not decided as yet if tonight will be AF or not. I have too much to do and I am too tired to do any of it. If DD shouts MUMMMMMYYYYYY one more time I might just go and get that drink. I should be getting her to bed shortly and then I have some yummy choccies waiting so hoping that they will do the trick. And thank you for your easy chatter, has made a difference!!!

    Oh about the running conversation here couple of days back. I have now had a dream last two nights where I was running and it felt really easy and I felt I could have gone for ages and I felt sooo light. Hmmm - quite far away from the reality :o Perhaps there is a little runner somewhere there trying desperately to get out. Off to figure a) where to get the time and b) the place to do it.

    No. 10 AFD for me tonight please Fay.

    Did a little bit of meditation tonight and feel a little more positive today. Have hatched a plan together and pulled together all my positive vibes to hope it works.
