    Monday sounds great. Enough time to make up for eating too healthily over christmas first. ;) I've challenged myself for 15x lots of exercise, and i am thinking no booze for the rest of the month at least. Want to raise or match me. :D (I'm going to count anything i would not normally be doing as exercise, and i am not going hell for leather as i still cannot breathe properly. But i am sure starting easy won't be a problem with your dodgy knee anyway.

    ETa - just read your 1st post. Ahh. You think so much of me and it is mutual my darling. We can chiv each other along this year. Also, have you noticed that myself, Gally and you are all around the same level of mortgage - savings. Mine is more like £22.5 at the minute after paying for the kitchen. I think old courgette is round there too. We must all be doing something kind of right.

    Erm...erm, no booze for the rest of the month-aww ek, do I want to start and fail a challenge so early on?:eek: Go on then..from Monday lets try!

    Not quite sure, though I had 2. I think it was when I wanted to do bottom burps but held them in 1.gif

    Do we HAVE to give up alcohol from Monday? Ok, if we must 7.gif

    Another one. :j

    Does it matter if i am drinking a weeks worth of booze now? I won't want any the rest of the month. It is keeping me toasty while the house gets back up to a reasonable temp so that is my excuse.

    I don't really drink as a rule and I don't eat junk. I somehow don't think it's fair of me to join in on this one. Hmmm...
