    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.

    I'm with you on the loss of weight and the gaining of money. I've lost 7lb without trying since I stopped drinking (74 AFDs now), but have definitely gained lots of £s.

    I'd feel like a bit of a fraud joining in with the monthly challenge, but I'd really like to get one of those skipping sheep for achieving target!

    Please join! Everyone is welcome and it's nice to see all those days adding up:D

    Woop woop, I get a watering can - just showed the peeps at work, they think I am slightly mad lol - 14AF now - ty Shaggy

    Out for a curry tomorrow night, am driving, so no temptation there

    evilsquid1603 - a mugshot?! As long as it worked - I always go for the crisps, possibly due to PMT:D(my excuse anyway)

    Good luck wishes for all the newbies - can highly recommed the Allen Carr stop drinking book - has helped me no end

    6 AFDS for me please Shaggy. Mrs R-so sorry about the situation with Mr R. Miss P-my SIL cannont drink wine anymore because it makes her sneeze so much-we tease her because she only drinks Disarrano (sp?) now saying she has very expensive taste! Hugs crazymum-it's very hard living with someone who is drinking heavily-it drives you mad-I find my OH extremely irritating when he's had a drink (luckily its not every night).

    yeah, slight hangover from doing slimming world, they are free on there so anytime you wanted something you shouldn't, it was something quick and easy you could make up to take your mind off what you wanted.
