    On a bad note...think Slimming world is going to have to wait another couple of weeks. OH bought Piglets school trousers and I think they're too tight :( Don't want him being uncomfortable (was a struggle to do them up this morning :() so am taking him to Asda after lunch to get some different ones. Don't think I'm ever destined to join SW!:(

    Morning all,

    I'm feeling really gutted today. After seriously controlling my alcohol intake and even having a few af days since joining this forum I completely lost it yesterday. My system is now flooded and it will be hard to climb down again.

    I will fight the bl**dy demons though. I felt much better when I was in control.

    I am feeling positive even though I am hungover. I WILL do it.

    In fact. I am declaring a 24 hour challenge, midday today 'til midday tomorrow. If anyone wants to join me I will keep score so just let me know.

    Sorry to have let myself and the rest of you down.

    RN

    I am in.

    Don't apologise you have not let anyone down xx
    :):)
