    Declaring early again so 19/20 - so close! 
    Well done Wanna be for resisting after a rough day. 
    Glad to read that rain didn't drive you to drink Maman. I think the garden was grateful at least and as we have done some planting before the lockdown we were pleased not to have to water!

    A s*d it day is tempting. People keep
    posting about alcohol on fb. So I’ve shut it down and I’m going to do some exercise instead. Finding things a bit difficult today. Hope I manage to resist. 
    Live for the moment and plan for the future

    It was close, too may times I talked myself out of having a drink and then the kids kept winding me up and all i wanted was to shout and scream and pour a glass of wine.  Instead I did have a bit of a moan at them, typical teens who aren't thinking, but they aren't awful really.  We've just been together for 7 weeks now and its taking its toll.  I feel like they just don't listen and I repeat myself so many times just to get the basics done.  Its draining.  So i've taken their tech away until tomorrow and they are currently tidying up the kitchen from dinner.  Now I've eaten I don't feel like the wine, it was the response to feeling stressed and angry at the kids.  
    So I have made target today, yet despite this I still feel sad, emotional and angry.
    19/19.......just, hanging on by a thread.
