    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.

    25/30 please Shaggy.


    Another night out last night, with dinner included in the ticket price, but the bar was nowhere near the self-service caf!. It was just lovely to be able to help myself to an interesting softy. OH felt the need to clatter off to find himself a glass of red, and I just felt relieved I no longer cared to.

    its seems to be getting easier for you took me a while to do social thing but went out on my birthday back in june nice not to drink specially when all assumed I would
    my choice my call u doing great 100 days be here before u relize

    Just wanted to say a big thanks (again) Shaggy.:A


    There won't be any more from me this month as I'm off for a week's holiday from tomorrow.


    Please may I have my usual target of 10 for October.:)


    Have a good week all.

    Have a lovely time, Maman.


    It'll be right the way through October and into November before I can claim my 100 Day Challenge is complete, Jake2, but I already know I never want to have another drink again. (I don't want to wish my life away, but I am still amazed at the fact that I've stuck with this and it gives me a little lift when I total it up.) I think I'll be able to do it, too, and until today I wasn't that sure I'd be okay with it.


    27/30 please Shaggy for September, and


    31/31 for October please.


    I'll save the bells and whistles for November.
    Better is good enough.

    19/20 AFDs for last night. Mum, DH and I went to the local church social club for what was billed as a fantastic singer. Lawks he was awful. Thankfully the three of us agreed, so at the interval we said our good nights and left, lol. Never have so many songs been so mangled. The crowd loved him, though! It's not far, but mum can't walk that distance so I was designated driver which kept me safe.


    Off for a run now, toodlepip x
