well done to maggiem, maman and sukeyboo for meeting targets
I had a difficult day yesterday, resorted to wine and chocolate, spent £10, slept badly, felt fat and, most importantly, was no happier for it. A reminder to myself, it doesn't help, and I could buy pretty plants with the same money.My mortgage free diary: +++ Divide by Cucumber Error. Please reinstall universe and reboot+++

Redo, thank you for your post, I need to remember that too. Apart from buying pretty plants of course
you mean pretty books.
Declaring early to boost my commitment later as I expect tonight to be a harder one as Thursdays usually are. I will drive back from caring, feel cold, tired and sorry for myself and believe that I derserve wine. But tomorrow I want to deserve being proud of myself not disappointed. This evening I have the ingredients of a soft drink ready. And there is hot chocolate and I can take painkillers if my back hurts rather than drink. Plus eat dinner and wait 20 minutes before drinking as I always feel better after food.
11/14 please Cathybird6
