I promise Lizzy, honestly!

A beaming Mommy waved a phone in my face this morning, I was on the phone working from home and she would never do that unless it was important but she was persistent and the smile was a big one so I put my call on hold…. ….having scan read it and congratulated her I […]

Glossing & Baking

Superbowl Sunday was spent glossing the newly finished living room skirting boards and baking. Finishing the skirtings were my goal weekend so that we can move back into the living room and I was doing great by today (Sunday) while Mommy and Lincoln went to church leaving Reagan to bake her cake for the church […]

90 Days

Its now 90 days since I last had a drink “a milestone ” you might say? Below is how Jamie celebrated with 0% alcohol beer, she offered me a taste and I flatly refused. It concerns me that tasting beer would trigger me…. maybe it wouldn’t but why risk it when I don’t crave the […]

Beating George

Build a tower from paper and tape was the assignment for each pupil in 5M, build it as tall as you can and the tallest wins…but it must stand up to wind (produced by Mrs Merson wafting a piece of cardboard) Well apparently Lincoln was able to build a tower almost as tall as himself […]

New Living room update

New couchlooking good but we were struggling for a place to put stuff like drinks etc so we decided to put a shelf behind the sofa slightly lower than the rear cushion. We bought 2 pieces of oak to match the mantle which I installed this weekend

The streak is over!

Yep, unfortunately after 83 days last night after doing so well for so long I dropped the ball, my concentration wained I was distracted and I failed I succumbed. Luckily I only succumbed to tiredness I forgot to blog something I’d done since 13th November and last night I went to bed I also didn’t […]
