6/20 I found some cans of an drink that was nice, I popped it in a wine glass, added ice and a sprig of mint and sat with that yesterday. I felt I had had a treat but so much better than opening more wine. Kept me on target too. Partner had a cider and I didn't feel i was missing out. Win Win Win. (Have another 11 cans of this stuff in fridge t get me through the month - grass and co - relax - expensive but cheaper than wine).Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
