    Thanks helena:)
    Sorry you're having a frustrating time grassgirl well done for resisting temptation.
    6/22 for today - off to do some ironing before I curl up with a book and a blanket!
  • Nice to join an active board, thanks guys, made me smile :)
    I don't think I've ever ironed.. I always have one but give them away when my neighbours ones break hehe

    Managed 8 so far this month but do not have a target as I'd rather not set myself up for failure.

    That's double my score and I DO have a target!;)


    8/11 so far is excellent in my book.

    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.

    Had an early present given to me I would love to open it but I know it'll be gone instantly and stupid shifts at work are a nightmare enough without a hangover..
    So 20 more days left so going for 15/20 as a target.
    I don't normally drink but when I do I do keep going so imposing another limit on myself to include at least a litre of water every day and when I do drink, no more than a pint/equivalent every hour..

    Pushing out the MSE welcomewagon.gif for you. You're on the list and Good Luck!
