So after a long week I get home and OH has bought wine! Bit annoyed. I'm not drinking. Ok... one glass! There was also spaghetti bolognaise so that made up for it.

Sunday 3rd September : The day before we start again

I had acupuncture today and said I was starting Suprecur tomorrow. She knows more than I did! This is a down regulator.
