Do ya wanna join the October monthly challenge?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 -

Afternoon, that's 6/15 to report for me please shaggy. That's a record for me, most number of days in a month without alcohol since... Well... Since I can remember! I'm out Saturday night so aiming to get to then without a drink this week. Have a good day everyone.Battling booze, bulge and bills.

That's brill!!
I may actually, possibly, be notching up my first AFD of the month today thus equalling my September "achievement", this DESPITE going to pub for a drink at lunchtime. Not sure everyone had to look quite so surprised when I ordered a coke though.
Realised last night that from today there are only 12 weeks of the year left, have been whinging about my surplus nearly-two-stone in weight since January 1st! 40 weeks of fatness!! So starting today am going to really try to shift some poundage before the year-end, hence no wine. It's not the calories in the wine so much as the way it saps my willpower & leads to crisps etc etc. I also DIDN'T BUY ANY WINE on my supermarket trip - def a first. grocery shopping's quite cheap without the booze isn't it?
I also decided to start a daily exercise routine, lesson learnt - do not lie on stomach on floor when have just had shower & put body lotion on.
*note to self* brush the dog, consider new vacuum cleaner.
Yeuch!
And today's:
I just heard God sneeze, but I didn't know what to say to him.
Sorry am filling up whole page; have a good evening all x0 -
6/25 AFDs and not feeling quite so stressed today. I started writing up my defence in case there's a meeting. Even if there's no meeting, I'll be sending the email to HRWhat would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?0

'don't lie on the floor after putting on body lotion' - that's so funny winebox!!
Not sure if I'll drink tonight - DH has slightly dodgy tum, so he might not go for any wine and I might join him.Trying to keep in budget.
