I am half-way through a six-week long special-occasions-on ly no-boozing mission.

I had rather a lot to drink at the horses last week, and I'm watching Norridge on Saturday, so Kings after - but apart from that, no booze at all until the Great North Run.

It's going quite well actually, I thought it'd be much more difficult. Am drinking pepsi max like nobody's business though, which can't be good for the teeth and/or guts.
