    hi everyone, didn't manage to post last week as just sooooooooooo busy.:rotfl:
    Had 2 housewarming parties, went out to dinner and it was mother's day._party_
    Did not manage to stay AF but did drink in moderation, just a couple of glasses of wine a night.:A
    In fact i have half a bottle of wine still untouched in the fridge, for several days. Previously unheard of.:T
    I'm still swimming and gardening, and have lost 17lbs since Christmas.
    Hugs to everyone still struggling!!
    4AF please.
    Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life!
    No buying unnecessary clothes even if they are reduced.

    Oh rubbish, failed last night, was FIL birthday - only had 1.5 glasses vino as shared a bottle with MIL and DH. We ended up with a taxi to town booked so that scuppered my usual trick of saying I will drive.
    My goodness did I have some strange dreams - was it the booze or the Chinese?
    DH has booked us away Fri and Sat so will be drinking then too, but took this into account (having done a frantic count up) so should still hit target!

    Hugs to all - we can all make it and we will with the support and motivation on here.
