21/25 for tonight please @cathybird. Today I re-listened to Rangan Chatterjee’s podcast of him chatting with Andy Ramage (one year no beer guy) and it helped me remind myself how to deal with some peer pressure type things, will defo come in handy in June as I have various events where the booze will be a flowing.Student loan £5655

I have a real test of my resolve tonight. I'm out for a family birthday and it's the first time I've been to something like this and not drank. I've offered to drive which will help (although I've lost count of the times I've done this then had to pay for a taxi home for everyone!) It's so near the end of the month and I never ever thought I could go a whole month without a drink (well not even a week or weekend) so I really don't want to give in. Wish me luck, hopefully I'll be declaring another AFD later.6

I'm not drinking today so that takes me to 20. Took my daughter to the cricket yesterday and I had planned to have a pint but it wasn't very warm and the last thing I wanted was cold beer. We had a great time anyway.
Nothing to see here, move along.5 -
