    I saw your thread yesterday and realised what a good idea it would be for me to cut down on drinking wine. I need to save the money and it's become a bit of a friend when I need to relax at the end of a difficult day. I'm sure this is how problems start. My other half also doesnt like the fact I get more argumentative with him sometimes when I drink and I fall asleep at 9-10 so he can't watch telly with me. I'm also hoping to feel a bit healthier and maybe not feel as bloated, podgy and spotty.

    So tonight I'm sat here with a nice cup of tea, a bit of determination and the hope that it's not too late to join in.

    My last glass of wine was last night. I soo didn't want to get up for work this morning.

    Can I join the school night challenge too :)

    It's never too late to join in...for any of us!! Welcome Kate, good to have you with us.

    Jumped back on the wagon with amazing ease tonight.:) I've been to my dance class for the first time in weeks because of being away and two Bank Holidays. It's good to get back into a normal routine.

    that's 3 for the May challenge, Shaggy

    and 1 for this week's SNC, please, Bearacus.
