16 please, Shaggy, thanks I also count my units and this means that I can't have another glass of wine until 1 October - I am trying to gradually reduce units and beat last year's total. We are selling our house at the moment and moving from Cheshire to South Wales - very daunting, but we are going to be living near the sea, and the vast majority of DH's work is in S Wales. An adventure - all our DD's have flown, leaving a very empty nest here.
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 -

We don't have Netflix, Maman, or a sports channel, just Freeview. OH wanted the BT sports channel but got so messed around when the engineer was supposed to visit he cancelled the order. We borrow DVDs from the libary so if it isn't in stock we don't watch them unless friends have them, we're given them or we find them in a charity shop. Friends who don't have a TV lent us their Breaking Badcomplete boxed set as a Christmas present, and although we've already seen it (thanks to the library) we're watching it much more slowly at around a couple of episodes per evening max, and I'm finding it much more harrowing this time. Like you, we don't switch the TV on until at least 8.00 pm and often like last night, not at all. I'll watch Bake Off later on my laptop, though and OH is going to the pub to watch his team. He's a 5 Live fan, too.
