    Hi everybody :j

    10 for me please GG, ta.
    DD2's 16th birthday gone well - poor thing had parents' evening and guitar lesson, so mad rush, but now all calmed again. One more day and then it's DD1's 18th birthday!

    I really do think the 'one day at a time' idea is the best, as GC, RA, Jo and others say, I'm not thinking any further than the next couple of days, or I start to panic if I think I can't have any wine ever again!

    Hope everybody is well and happy and where they want to be.

    BTW, HB, you cannot give into cravings when you are leading the 72 hour challenge!!! Stay in Bear Towers and do not go out!!!

    Night night everybody, sleep well xx

    LOL .....lime juice appreciation society:D:D....personally I find Lidl sparkling water has a slightly nicer flavour. I was thinking earlier that it is similar to mixing a gin & tonic! .....sorry guys I have totally lost the plot this evening!!:eek::eek:

    "Normal" drinkers do not use a 1/4 bottle of gin topped up with tonic and ice.
