WOW - 3 Saints
so far this month! I don't think we've ever had 3 saints
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.0 -

Morning all!
Well done to all the saints!!0 -
Hi,
I have lurked on MSE for years and posted a few times but have never joined any of the challenges. However, cutting down on my drinking is one that I've been mentally doing (without much success) for years. So, here I am, admitting to everyone on here that I need to cut down and hoping that by reporting back most days, that I'll have the willpower to do it. I'm going for the no drinking on school days except the one day that I'm having a lunch out which is a big treat. Will even try to stay off the alcohol after a meeting which always ends in the pub and have counted this in my AFDs.
So
16 for me please
and wish me lots of luck!!0 -

Good afternoon all.
I have had a stressful day. Spent 2 and a half hours in traffic after there were a series of accidents on the road on the way into uni. I have never seen anything like it, the cars were a tangled mess, and the motorcyclist died so the news report says. Was awful to see, although thankfully i didnt witness the crash itself.
I felt really tearful driving on the way home and sent up a little prayer for all of those involved.
Normally i would have a bottle of wine to 'reax' in the evening after something like this, but i am going to have a cup of tea and do some uni work instead. I am SO rock and roll in my old age!
I hope you have all had a lovely Monday so far! Apparently its the happiest day of the year (so my local radio station says!!) so i hope yours has been happy!
AF here this evening, although i'd murder a glass of red0 -

Hello Bearacus,
yes please, I'd like to join the school night challenge. Not a ggood start though - I'll only manage max 3 school nights this week as I will be raising a glass for a very special occassion later this evening.
Can I be in both challenges? I hadn't counted today and tomorrow in my 16 AFDs as Feb doesn't start 'til Wednesday.
