I headed out to the beach to join an organised beach-clean only to find that the time had changed from 11am to 1.30pm - I really out to try this reading lark (lol, I'm a bookworm). I'm off to the beach again now.What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?5 -

9/18 please @cathybird.
Been a dismal month for me for many reasons and have slipped back into nightly drinking. But have the last few nights under my belt now and even though I am nowhere near target, it's better than the zero alcohol free days I had been doing for a long time.
Thanks for still being here, am really grateful xxx7
