    Me and DS have spent most of this afternoon vegging on sofas - strangely enough neither of us have any desire to eat chocolate:eek:

    Another lovely day here so the rest of the sheets have been dried outside, I love the smell of line dried sheets although it's not great for the pollen allergies...

    Tomorrow starts my month of sobriety but luckily there's only 30 days:p

    Once you get over the 2 week 'shakes' it gets easier;) I've made it to three and a bit months now (although the 'bit' does only equate to 3 days!) honestly though SS I have saved so much not buying that 'it's the weekend/I've had a tough day/it's Easter etc bottle of wine. You can do it!

    I think you are right Natty, did it a couple of years back when I was training for a half marathon and found after 4 weeks or so I didn't fancy the idea of a drink, that said I have a large glass of red at my side right now:o

    That's it exactly - I don't even want to have a drink which is weird. I figured that having no alcohol in the hose was the key, but currently have 2 bottles of wine in the fridge (daughter's purchase) and absolutely no inclination to drink.....

    How's the love life?;)

    Yep I'm here and at your side Skinty ... Thing is for me that's not really such a challenge I didn't drink for 5 years before we went to Las Vegas ( that place would drive you to drink) so I may add a wee extra something on if I may ?
