My husband is producing one of his 'special' bottles of wine to accompany our Easter dinner. I don't think I'm going to have any but I'd better wait until later to declare.
Happy Easter everyone. X

Thanks all, I have drawn a line.We had a fantastic day today as a family; a very long bike ride and a roast beef in the slow cooker for dinner. I feel like I’ve turned a corner today as I’ve had a little time for my own thoughts too - I realise that I am putting myself under a lot of pressure to make a lot of changes all at once so I have set a prioritisation list. Whilst it is important that I reduce my drink intake as it has an impact on so many areas of my life, planning to reduce dramatically on a bank holiday weekend was setting myself up to fail. I am aiming for 15, and as so many of you have advised, I’ve time to hit that yet. Slow and steady wins the race.I don’t envisage having a drink but will confirm tomorrow.I hope everyone is having a lovely day, and a lovely Easter to those celebrating x6

8/25 please cathybird. Bring on that rabbit with the giant egg. I have had two real choc eggs this week,full of regret,but this virtual egg is very welcome.At this point last month I was depressed,was only at 2/25,so I'm happy to be doing well this month.4

Morning all, the gig went OK considering our second guitarist was at home nursing his leg (plates inserted after an accident!), I'm not mad keen on a Sunday afternoon gig as people are, in general, out for a roast and a chat! It's also a sports pub. We were due to start ( and did) at 4pm, our new singer vanished soon after arriving - she looked dreadful, turns out she had a reaction to something she'd eaten. I was hoping it wasn't the fudge my daughter made that we had at Saturday's rehearsal! Anyway she still helped set up the drums and went to her parent's for a few minutes (they live close to the venue). Came back at 15:56 carrying a sick bucket. Performed a great set and still helped us pack down after, What a trooper!
Back on topic, 10/29 today please.
Oh and further - got home about 8pm, had a "quick snooze", woke up at 04:00. Hence today's early post. Rock'n'roll, eh?Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!4
