Second time in two days I've done that!

Saw it and corrected the first time.

MILK, MILK, MILK, MILK, MILK, MILK!

Freud would have a field day!!!! Lol

You shouting milk reminds me of that ditty we said as kids 'Milk, Milk, lemonade, round the corner chocolates made' haha
 
I'm working my way to being a milf......lol
Not sure I wanna be slim enough to fit in a glass though haha ;) x

I'm having a whisky after the concert I'm singing in tonight.
Apologies to those who are without alcohol!
But it is within syns.
 
What kind of singing do you do?

It's choral stuff.
Tonight it was Handel, and Bach, and a new thing by someone called Ian Schofield.
Scarily, the composer was in the audience.
And there was one bit which we definitely got wrong. But I think only one!

And lots of it is really, really high. So this whisky is definitely medicinal, and therefore should be syn-free!

How wonderful! I love choral music, went to a concert of Handel's Messiah in December (boy some of that is heavy work), but loved the choir.
Desperate to hear Faures Requiem Mass.
 
No official exercise today - but there wasn't any in the plan either, as it was a really busy day with rehearsals and a concert. So I'm still on track.
Off to bed, and not bringing the whisky bottle with me, so I'll stay on plan.
Updating the days (I'm sure some people are still wrestling with Saturday night, but I've declared it over!)

I'd like to join, is possible.
No alcohol :)

Still doing FWNW. had some vodka instead. :D
 
I managed no alcohol with my meal out, and it wasn't even through driving, so I'm rather happy there. The planned meal out for my hubby wasn't strictly 100% as I didn't have 1/3 superfree but it did only take me to 15 syns for the day, so not a complete fail as I chose as wisely as possible. So I'll give £2.50 to my charity of choice which is Just Because who are raising money for breast cancer care in Egypt.
 
I managed another day no choc and went to a friends for dinner and she'd made chocolate pudding for desert ....yummy but I didn't have any, did have a very small slice of artic roll naughty but nice ;-)
Hope everyone has managed the weekend ok xx
 
Still going strong, had vodka last night instead of wine ;)
 
Still managing without chocolate & fizzy drinks, doesn't even seem to be bothering me yet thankfully x
 
Day 5 and havent smoked-its killing me but once i get the first week over me I think it will get easier-have friends bday party next weekend and alot of them smoke so that will be a big test but im proud of myself so far-keep up the good work everyone xx
 
Chocolate! So far so good!
 
I've failed, had a coffee this morning and an energy drink this afternoon......so mines just takeaways now....or I might just try again next year when I'm hopefully strong enough :(

Get back on that hoss, Spuddridge!

You haven't failed, you've just had a minor blip. You could still be caffeine-free MOST of the days in Lent, and wouldn't that still be an achievement?

Come on. You can do it!
