    Hi all,

    have got an internet connection for a night whilst we stay in a hotel, so thought I'd drop in.
    I have drunk every single day since I went away (about 14 days ago now) so I am not keeping to any AFness. I get back on the 1st August so I'll be starting afresh then!

    Good news in the meantime is that I got a job - 12 hours teaching a week, but I am panicking quite a lot as I have an awful lot to do to plan and prepare and get back into it. I will be OK, this is the mantra I keep telling myself!

    41, thank you for your honest and open postings, I admore you greatly, and a big hello to all the newbies.

    When I get back I'll get back on the School Night Challenge again. Goodness knows, there is no way I can teach in a school and drink alcohol in the evenings as well!!

    Until then I ma enjoying my hole, chilling with my family (and doing a bit of sneaky lesson prep on the side).

    Enjoy the weekend
    Trying to keep in budget.

    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.
