    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Morning all

    Lilith - well done on staying AF and leaving that bottle of wine in the fridge!

    Shaggy - even though I'm not in the challenge this month, I really look forward to seeing your list each morning - so cheerful and colourful!

    In true MSE style I'm pootling off to Lidl's this morning to get some veg....just have to try and get past the special offers without buying anything!!:eek: May buy a nice cream cake for my Mum - I'm going to pop and see her this afternoon when Piglet goes to Nursery.

    Have good Tuesdays everyone!

    Miss P
