Today will be 29/30 for me please!
Can't wait for my first gold star!Debt free November 20228 -
27/26 please cathybird. I'm off to fly among the starsThats me declared for January. I had one drink of whiskey yesterday,made it last an hour,and did without a refill. In days of old I would have had 3 doubles when I had the excuse of visitors,so happy with myself for my moderation.Will probably repeat the situation today,not sure about tomorrow,but the gang are taking me to our favourite chinese restaurant for a meal on my birthday Tuesday.. First time there since 2019,pre-covid,so it will be fun.I am pleased with my reaction to the booze,enjoyed it but was willing to go slow,and didnt clamour for a refill. So no regret for this next few days of indulgence. Probably back to normal by Feb 2nd,no alcohol left in the house,and I can get back to earning my fun ,often bonkers,emojis.Thanks for your birthday wishes. Congrats for a great month for the group,so many did so well.Here's hoping for a fantastic February.

@Dusty happy birthday, I can't drink like I used to, I could pour it down my neck with out any ill effect but now any more than a couple of drinks and I get a headache. I'm thinking that must be a good thing.
Nothing to see here, move along.7 -
