| PLEASE!! |
So I get this ridiculous idea that it would be great to give up alcohol for the month of January for charity, Cancer Research UK actually..... Think I must have had a bang on the head, but nonetheless, I have committed to it now and bloody well broadcast the fact too. Stupid girl!
Then I thought it might be amusing to share my ramblings and rantings, highs & lows, frustrations and ultimately euphoria when I complete it.
Why oh why did I decide to do this?
It wasn't really a bang on the head, it was a TV advert, and before I knew it I'd registered and my pack arrived. That was quite exciting as it contained goodies! There's a wristband that I am wearing with pride, a donation card to flash at anyone offering me a drink. I've always wanted to say 'No thanks, I'd rather have the money!'. Posters and beer mats that say 'No Beer Here' on one side and 'Take on Dryathlon. One Month. No Alcohol. No Drips.' I think I'm going to have to take one of these out with me to remind me what I'm doing! There's the all important sponsor form, but for me the most vital thing for me is a calendar to count off the 31 long days!!

| MAKE MINE A LARGE WWWW WATER! |
I've also set up a team under the name 'Make mine a large wwww water', but there has only been one other
Anyway, each day I plan to let you know how it's going. Good, bad or indifferent.
Day 1- Weds: I started the day off by emptying the third of a bottle of champagne left over from last night and the remains of the red wine from boxing day down the toilet!!! Now THAT was painful, I can tell you!!! In fact this has actually been a shit day to give up drinking, because my dear husband has sat and watched back to back football since lunchtime. Under normal circumstances I would have had a couple of drinkie poos to stop me from stabbing him, but I'm afraid I cannot be held responsible for my actions!
At least tomorrow should be ok as it's back to work.. Booooo... But if you'd like to drop by again tomorrow and I'll tell how today panned out and how Day 2 is shaping up
Thanks for your support
