Mum agreed to babysit (quite a rarity) as hubby and I are celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary and our 10th anniversary of our relationship.
We couldn’t quite decide where to go as we wanted somewhere romantic but close to home. In the end we went to a fairly new Italian restaurant that overlooks the harbour. I was a bit worried we wouldn’t get a table as we hadn’t booked but they had a table and we still had harbour views.
Food was gorgeous, we decided to order a bottle of champagne to celebrate and for the first time in almost a year we had a chance to talk, completely uninturrupted by children/dog/phone etc. It was wonderful! We had a really good talk about our relationship and how we can try and overcome some of the obstacles we face.
After the meal we went to the wine bar next door for a few drinks and a giggle and a bit of a smooch and I felt proud to hold the hand of my husband and devote my attention to him for once.
Perfect date. I’m not planning on waiting a year for another of those!

I have not drank any wine during January with one ‘but’....I did drink champagne when out with hubby celebrating our anniversary. I am happy to call this goal achieved because I have not bought/ordered/drank any wine (i.e. white or rose that I tend to drink at home).
The point of this goal was to avoid the habit of daily drinking and I have achieved that. I did drink champagne once but I will not be making a habit of thinking ‘I’ve had a hard day at work so I deserve a bottle of champagne’! Generally this month I have only consumed spirits when out socialising and I’m happy to continue that (hopefully I will practice moderation)!!
I am going to mark this goal complete but will re-open if I slide back into wine consumption at all!

Not a single sip of coke at all this year!
I have been a little tempted a couple of times but I didn’t want to spoil the progress I have made. I am more than happy to drink alcoholic drinks mixed with lemonade or other mixers (if anything I tend to drink less alcohol which is good) so I have no desire to go back to coke.
I’m happy to call this one complete with the proviso that if I fall back into my former coke habits then I will reinstate the goal.
