    I've just realised what I did this morning. Normally when I enter my figures I check the date in the bottom right hand corner and subtract one to enter yesterday's figure in the morning, or just copy the figure for entries late in the day. This morning I forgot to subtract the one. As I don't intend to drink today the figure stands, but gosh, that's counting chickens early for me.

    I often didn't intend to drink on the days I did, so it would have been downright silly of me to have done this a year ago but I think I should be okay for today.
    Better is good enough.
