Morning all!

How are we all doing?

Piggy household still AF!!:j And I just don't fancy a drink at all! Got to be good eh?

On the bad side, the diet seems to have taken a back seat. My head seems so full of things lately that I don't have the energy to concentrate on calorie counting. However, no weight has gone on so will try and maintain that.

My bank account is definately seeing the benefit of me not drinking. I have money in my purse (whereas before I'd be counting up the change to see if I had enough for a cheap bottle of wine) and my budgeting is working much better.

Also, I've made less rash decisions. Guess we've all been there, agreeing to things when we're half cut which, in the cold light of day, aren't great decisions.

Sorry to pop on so infrequently and then ramble when I do but I'm feeling really enlightened lately. As some of you may remember, after a heavy drinking session some months ago which then caused me to be hideous to my husband, I stopped drinking for a couple of months. Hope I'm not putting a curse on myself, but this time feels so much different. Last time I was CONSTANTLY thinking about drink. This time I'm hardly thinking about it at all - it just doesn't play a part in my life at the moment.

See, rambling again!!!:o Sorry!

Today's History Lesson


There is an old Hotel/Pub in Marble Arch, London which used to have gallows adjacent. Prisoners were taken to the gallows (after a fair trial of course) to be hung. The horse drawn dray, carting the prisoner was accompanied by an armed guard, who would stop the dray outside the pub and ask the prisoner if he would like ''ONE LAST DRINK''.

If he said YES it was referred to as “ONE FOR THE ROAD”
If he declined, that prisoner was “ON THE WAGON”
So there you go.
