    It’s a sad day taking HB off the list. She was huge part of this group with her pearls of wisdom. I doubt she’ll go back to drinking too, not after this long. I hope one day she checks in, just to let us know she’s ok. It’s hard not to wonder if some of the missing people might be part of the 26,000 C19 deaths. I hope not. 
    I won’t declare yet for today. But feel a bit confident as we have an online fitness class this evening and cheering at 8pm. Plus it’s still a school night. 
    I’m kind of thinking about not drinking tomorrow too, to kick start May. Not sure. One day at a time. 
    'tis sad.
    Very little CV in the South West Cuppa. They have been very lucky.....so she would have had to bee very unlucky iyswim.
    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.

    hi Shaggy, yes I am completely happy to run the monthly challenge, either just for now or till whenever, if that's OK with everyone? ... As soon as you wanted to come back you would just have to say the word. xx :)

    Thanks Cathy
    I will update the challenges today and pass the baton to you for now.
    I thought I would have more time to myself working from home, in fact I have far less. Mostly, because there are 3 of us in the house. My OH normally travels a lot and DS is out at work all day. So there is constant housework...people cooking, dishwasher on every day, etc etc... everyone is pitching in but there is just more...
    Anyways, I'm doing ok with the AFDs - did the SNC this week. I'm contemplating having an AF weekend but, sure, it's not the first time I've said that recently and it doesn't happen.
    Hope everyone is staying safe and that your work situation is not too stressful. Redundancies have started in DH's company, which is always unsettling...my niece looks like she will have to cancel her wedding...haven't heard of anyone else who died of covid, I guess that is something.

    Thanks everyone for the good wishes.

    Shaggyx


    hi Shaggy hope things settle down for you soon and that DH's job is safe xx
