😉 

I am going for a dry year will make January only 5 days to go 

I might go for dry Feb. Not making any promises though 😀 

I'm hoping for a full year off alcohol. only drank 5 times last year x 

Not drinking alcohol made a huge huge difference to my weight loss. It really helped. I don’t drink at all now and feel sooooo much better for it! Go for the year if you can 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 

Ps I’m not an evangelical born again alcoholic or anything 🤣🤣🤣🤣 it just helped me lose a lot of weight when I stopped 🤣🤣 

I'm the same rosebud, plus when I drink I turn into packman and eat everything lol . Definitely has helped with weight loss giving up alcohol x 

I suppose if I keep losing 200g every month by cutting out alcohol I will have lost 2.4 kg by the end of the year. My weight would be perfect. Its a tempting thought 🙂 

When i gave up alcohol for 154 days early last Year i lost over two stone.  

There is no down side to it, Chesty.  

Went back on alcohol because of stress i hope to have learnt with stress better? 

I was stressed yesterday and did think if it wasn't Dry Jan I would have had a drink. I just went about snapping at people instead 😀😀😀 

My stress full point was the falling through of my house sale have learnt to accept that Estate Agents are worried about their commission not people now i am recovering my injury hope to get back into exercise and get down to what i was before i went back onto to it. 

Chesty, it's not just Estate Agents. Every professional you deal with is in it to make money. They aren't a charity. But some fleece you with grace and humour and are a pleasure to work with others are quite mercenary. You are the customer, you can take your business elsewhere. Don't let other people derail you. 

Anne i transfered the sale of my house to a different Estate Agent and this time i will make on it my terms always learning to think i was a Civil Servant and a Banker should have know better! 

Great, taking back control is a good strategy. I think when things are personal to yourself it can be harder to maintain professionalism. Dust off your old skills and treat it like a business.  

I was failure at Banking and especially a Civil Servant (job centre) too much compassion! 

😀😀😀I'd be good that. I'm hard as nails........compassion free zone, me. 

My kind of woman!
