Hi, I'd like to join and aim for 10 days, been thinking about it and wasn't sure if April was a good month to start. I have one of my kids and their kids coming to stay for a week at Easter, two other GC staying for a couple of days and the local GC will be in and out which always involves eating. With that in mind I wasn't sure if it was a challenging month to start but I have managed 3 days so far, the 3rd, 4th and today which will be no spend as I'm not going out again. We went to the local carboot this morning which DH loves and I hate but he is disabled and can't manage by himself. As my reward he took me down to the beach cafe for a breakfast bap and a latte. It looked lovely but the wind coming off the sea was cold so I was happy to come home.
Hoping I can manage 3 more days this week so that I will stand a chance to manage ten days. If it ends up being 8 days I can still think that is OK.
Good luck to us all.3
