Nothing to see here, move along.6 -

21/26 please cathybird.Hey,the list is looking good this month. New members,people reaching targets,and exceeding them! Yay! Well done..I hope to reach 27 days this month,to exceed my target so as to fly off with the Sweet Dreams emoji .My 75th birthday on 31st,so I will probably having some boozy days around then, (quite a few visitors toasting me),but by about the 3rd Feb I should be getting back to dry days.Planning to try for gold star in MarchFor the moment I have a severe vertigo attack,nearly 10 days and counting. Hopefully I improve soon,or I wont be celebrating with alcohol end of the month. Vertigo is very like being dizzy from drinking,but without enjoying the alcohol before the suffering!
