Well done sukeyboo and maggiem and everyone else who are nearing, achieving or surpassing their targets!
A first for me.....I went on a weekend mini break, normally I would have had a drink in the evenings, but this time I didn't. So so nice to continue with the holiday without a headache.
And it's all thanks to this thread and everyone on here

21/21 for me please cathybird.x

Well done sukeyboo and maggiem on achieving targets so early in the month! Well done Vanlady, it's so easy to slip into old habits when you're away from home, but you are totally right, it doesn't really add anything to a trip away, in fact it often means missing out. I'm away tomorrow night and hoping to avoid drinking so I can fully enjoy myself on Saturday.

22/25 for me today please.
I've been plagued by my tummy being too sore to even touch for months, had ultrasound and MRI with nothing showing. I researched stomach pain/ hydroxycarbamide (which I take daily for a blood condition) and it turns out there is strong link! I was so mad that this wasn't suggested months ago!What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?5 -

Would anyone count brandy cream on a 5 year old Christmas pudding as cheating? It was delicious.....
(I'll finish the rest tomorrow so may count that as an AD to even it up ☺️ )5
