Day 23 - finally into single figures remaining. 3 weekends behind me, one to go. But now we are on half term... Have basically been a bit of a recluse this month, went out for the lovely Lyn Palmers birthday lunch and the smell of Stus red wine nearly made me give in. It smelt so good!! Sponsorship has been amazing, £445 plus another £20 in cash - thank you all so much. Really appreciate it. Still time to donate if you would like to x

mmm 16th Day. Half way there. It's tough. Bored with not drinking now. Literally the only thing keeping me going is the sponsorship I have received. I honestly thought as I have done this before it would be much easier 2nd time round but it so isn't! Have now replaced wine with chocolate so will probably be the size of a small house by Nov 1st!! Thanks to all my lovely sponsors - I would have long given up without you. I also have received cash sponsorship so if you would rather donate that way, please go ahead!!

OK - first week, and first weekend behind me. units of alcohol - 0 lbs lost - 4!!! Result! Have discovered alcohol free Seedlip gin which is very nice - the red Eisberg Cabernet Sauvignon leaves a lot to be desired tho! Too light and tastes a bit like vinegar!! Friday night was tough, as was Sunday lunch - an starting to dream about a nice glass of Apothic Red. 22 days to go...
