    well the Sunday dinner is cooking - I shall call early today, (9/TF, please Shaggy), as it will stop me from thinking about having wine with the meal!
    Many congratulations to all the lb drops - I'm still plugging away.

    Don't underestimate how important cutting down was in the first place, Cathy Bird. That was your willpower and it's paying off now.


    Honey Bear, I'm incredibly chuffed you think so - I must say most days it doesn't feel that way since I eat a ton of chocolate - but maybe we all use willpower with some things but not others. Anyway, thanks :) x

    Ditto. I can live without booze, but not without chocolate apparently!

    12/31 please, Shaggy.
    Better is good enough.

    I've got a couple of planned drinking days coming up this week (wedding anniversary tomorrow:love:) but plenty of month left so I can still do well for August.

    8/10 AFDs please Shaggy
