    ANyone know if I still donate to the Benali charity. I've just managed a 'sober October'. When I added it up it was a bit frightening how much money I'd saved!

    Well done to you...amazing what people spend on drink and cigs. My indulgence is eating out...I bet that adds up. I bet Benali's charity is still going....be bits of money coming in from auctions etc. Well done again.

    I did but anyway near as much as I though I would, especially as I cut out the drunken food binges as well.

    I dunno, maybe it was the chocolate.:roll eyes:


    Anyway, onto Movember now. Never a dull moment!

    Only just over 7,000 donations though which is a bit poor. Come you Saints fans, even a tenner would make such a difference. They should make it so you can't get a ticket to Wembley unless you've donated!

    On a serious note. I do feel better for it, no question. I didn't realise how much I drank to be honest. Its not as if I'd be out partying. But wine with meals, the odd beer etc. it added up. At first it was difficult, any sort of bad day and I was craving. But after a few weeks I began not to miss it at all. I NEVER thought I'd say that.

    Mind you that first beer on Saturday night was gorgeous:emoticon-0167-beer:
