I seem to be lurching between either wanting early Christmas treats or wanting to calm myself down after listening to the daily news so I'm undecided about each day. I'll go on taking the month as it comes.

Me too maman the news is making me feel decidedly twitchy 😲. I have to keep reminding myself of what I decided when I rethought my attitude to alcohol: "am I sad, angry or stressed? Yes? Don't drink, it won't make things better and will probably make them worse". It works most of the time 😕. X

9/21 please cathybird. Thank you. X

Completely agree with both of you. The news is making me alternatively twitchy or angry. I really like that question though #Marahouti and must try to remember to use it when having my 'should I open a bottle of wine?' debate with myself. When I thought about why I drink there were many reasons such as feeling happy, bad day at work, good day at work, summer evenings, celebrations, commiserations. Better to be drinking alcohol with positive emotions than the negative ones though.

Declaring for today, Thursday, so 5/15 please
