    Tonight it was very close call that I didn't bundle DD into the car in her nightie and bathrobe to go and get something to drink. Anyway, I didn't do it and watched Watchdog and New tricks instead. Now it is too late as she is sleeping and shop is closed. BF Skyped me and I cut him off and turned mobile off as well. He tried to help but was making it worse. Off to get some food, I haven't eaten yet.

    Decision made: Shaggy 31 please for October - I can't be trusted to be without a target even after all this time. The target stops me buying the stuff and not buying = not drinking. And I am not going to be upset if I don't achieve my target after one glass of wine socially like in September. Seems to work.

    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.

    DS1 had a job interview today and we were so excited. They said they'd ring this afternoon but haven't :mad:. Why do they do that and leave you sitting by a phone all day?

    That's horrible DB!:(
