    14 for me today please.  Clinging grimly on to the streak despite a challenging few days.
    Well done. Unlike you I gave in to a few glasses of red. Awful sleep as a consequence. 11/25 please @cathybird.

    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    10/25 for me today please, despite my DH suggesting I buy myself a bottle (because I was in a bad mood). NO, I'd swig the lot and be in an even worse mood!
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?
