    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.

    Isn't a bottle of wine 10 units? I'm confused!

    It depends :D Most reds are about 8, some whites are 8 but most are 9. Roughly.

    Some wines do have the units on the bottle.

    welcomewagon.gifWelcome Idris - that is the name of one of my favourites actors the gorgeous Idris Elba (otherwise known as Luther).

    Good luck! Do you want to join the October monthly challenge - 7 days up or grabs? Or just join the November challenge? Whatever you want:)

    24 for me. Today was really hard. I had my daughter all day, and we took a delivery of 18 bottles of wine. There are another 18 coming tomorrow. All good wines, as I have cancelled the deal we had with a wine supplier and used up all the money in my account. I'm not going to throw £400 of wine down the sink, and we'll enjoy it at the right time, but this evening I would have been drinking to feel the effects of alcohol, rather than drinking socially. So I'm happy I didn't.

    OMG that's temptation lol! I'll offer you a challenge. Let's see how long you can make it last Smiley15.gif A Year? 2 Years?
