    Sorry Shaggy got confused in my last post. SNC was 4/4 (Monday - Thursday) and current July days 5/20 (Monday - Friday). I would like to go for 5 in next week's SNC.

    I can find it hard to sleep at this time of year. It's so light! I have a really good eye mask but what with the light, the heat and my age....it can feel like a struggle. I wish I could sleep like I did in my teens and twenties!

    We're a little out of the nom as we never cover our bedroom windows (we are not over looked, so neighbours have nothing to fear!) - our previous rental didn't come with curtains or blinds, and we were skint when we first moved in and just got used to life without them. Maybe I should look into getting some better ones and see if that has any effect.

    How unusual, Finchy. Are you up with the lark on the lighter mornings?

    1/18 and 1SNC please. Struggling at the moment - lots of reasons, none really valid but I will keep reading and trying.

    (((Hugs))) Maggie. We're all doing the best we can, and sometimes we don't quite manage our ideal. That's more likely to happen if you keep trying - the success is down to 'Never give up giving up' with smoking, and I've found it works with booze too. I tried and failed to curb my drinking for 10 years before I got to where I wanted to be, and that will always be a Work in Progress, anyway.

    Off to sunny Devon for a few days - Hello HB. Planning on having a drink, but just going to try and moderate which I find very difficult, no red light unfortunately.

    Welcome! :wave: It was stonking hot where I was today (now back in Plymouth for the rest of the weekend) but totally fabulous, and I was once again reminded of just how beautiful this county is. I hope you enjoy the break. You certainly deserve it. Fill up on ice cream and you might not want as much booze as you think you could be tempted to drink (because you'll already have had the sugar). Local ice cream is now fantastically good with masses of local dairies making it, whereas it used to be dire in my childhood when it was only Walls (made from pig fat, yuk) or Lyons Maid. Whatever happened to Lyons Maid?

    Lost another pound, making 4 and half - I'd put on 5 and a half - so just the one pound to go to get back where I was....happy with that...

    Well done. I'm not losing it but then I'm not gaining it either, so I can't complain. 6/31 please.
    Better is good enough.
