    I have not had crisps for 2 days! Impressive eh?

    Or chocolate...and no booze since Sat-mind you, never drinking again after THAT session...

    Have you given up crisp's/chocolate/booze for lent the Bun? I seem to have challenged myself too, for a smaller time, although I get a 'treat' at the end of it ;)

    I meant to watch that but was spending Brownie money instead.
    We have about 2 inches of snow here.

    Really sorry but I don't like the window lickers thing. In fact it is quite offensive. Sorry.

    No baby news - no organisation some people. :)

    I'm staying up for a bit, had a lie down earlier so I am wide awake now.

    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Good luck then Bunny, but OH isn't very encouraging :rotfl: If its good for your condition (ie no booze) then its a good thing. Just think after lent you can indulge in choc and crisps, but not much booze ;)
