Breaking The Habit of A Lifetime

I feel so perfectly organised. December 22^nd and all my presents are bought, wrapped and distributed, the flat in QP is twinkling with fairy lights and there are skidmarks on the living room carpet, from Santa having come early.

Everything is going swimmingly…. until I realise I’ve lost my passport and I fly out to Ireland tomorrow.  

Me, organised? Was that too good to be true?

Start the year as you mean to go on I say. So I have given up drinking. Well… the Irish version which isn’t quite ‘going teetotal’… It’s more ‘going to your local’ – not quite so often. It has been a while since I got completely hammered, which is no bad thing. The last time I got drunk I woke up in my own bed – which is bad enough for a start, but there was a big bloke next to me and he had all his clothes on – double bad… And I was wearing a Spiderman suit and a bruise!

So I’ll be laying off the sauce a bit for the New Year.

I’ll also be following a couple of other healthier resolutions: I have started doing breakdancing classes at Pineapple Studios! (www.pineapple.uk.com) I am a terrible breakdancer, it’s full of fourteen year old boys and I realise that I am old enough to be their mother at least, but it’s just so much fun! I will have to keep going till I have mastered a headspin. That coupled with Bikram yoga (www.bikramyoga.co.uk) and the Power plate at Lambton Place (www.lambton.co.uk) means I will have the body of a twenty two year-old come summer. And this time I won’t have to give it back!

Merry Christmas!
