Seven days left of dry january / dryanuary / jaNOary or whatever you are calling it. Apart from the 2nd January (the evening after Pauline's funeral) I've not had a drink for the whole month. So next Sunday would be the first day of febrewery then, though right now I'm thinking I'll give it a few more days after that. Will I still feel that way then though? Maybe not.
It's also five days until pay day too, January is way the longest month. I'm doing OK, still in credit, even with the huge car expense we have. I have taken all of my savings for the month back out again and I do owe Clare for her shopping trip yesterday. And then I do have a load of things I have been saying "I'll leave that until pay day" about.
We're going up to London on the 7th Feb, though there will be no opportunities for pubbing that day that I can see, so I could easily wait until after then to start drinking again. Clare and Number one son are going to Cirque Du Soleil1 Kooza2 that day, it's not so good for number two son so he and I will be going somewhere else. Probably not the pub.
dryanuary: Not drinking for all of January.
