Hey all, bit of a crazy week at work and still haven't got my car back..
was AF last night tho - had a bloke come round and looked at the room to be a new lodger. (after going to the dentist on Monday- got told its going to cost me 1K). So- decided I need a lodger for a while anyway. He's a nice guy- but will have to give up my space for a while- but it may be nice also to have some company (he's quite cute too- so that helps
)
manic day at work- got home at almost 8 grrrrrrrrrrr..... so have succumbed to the vino.... Oh - well, better next month hey.0 -

Just as some inspitartion to keep you all going. Was reading an old copy somebody gave me of "Look" magazine and it gives the beauty boosting side effects of going booze free:-
2 days later - When your bodies dehydrated and full of alcohol it suspends 'non essential' things like fat burning. Now it's had chance to recover, you'll feel more energetic and your gym workouts will be more effective.
1 week later - Your concealer and foundation will be redundant! Alchohol deprives your skin of vitamins and nutrients, so after a week of booze free you'll notice clearer brighter skin.
2 weeks later - You'll see fewer lumps and bumps, as your body will be free of boozy toxins that contribute to cellulite.
3 weeks later - Alcholol hinders deep sleep, so giving up the booze means you can get better quality beauty sleep and should wake up looking like you've just had a relaxing facial.
1 month later - Thank the teetotal Gods for your trimmer waisteline - if you've cut out just four glasses of wine a week you'll be 1,000 calories better off.
6 months later - As well as skin, alcohol also dehydrates your hair, leaving it thinner and fragile. After six months your hair will be your crowning glory.
I have given up alcohol since the new year and feel amazing, my OH has been so impressed with the difference it has made to me that he has given up since Sunday.DF by Christmas 2014 #78 £18,964.15/£15,000

ShaggyxWhat 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.0 -
