Drank 3 white wine spritzers (poured 70/30 water). Then got the hump on way home, had a bottle of stella on the train and a bottle and a half or rose and threw up.

To be fair, it smells of spinach and fish. It doesn't really taste of anything at all, which is quite a relief.

I believe i'm stable at 97 but will confirm tomorrow. Have had a busy time at home, moving and OH being made redundant, but i'm back on the wagon now.</p> <p>Am definitely finding alcohol to be my downfall.
