    ODAT Wednesday 12th May

    Hey all,

    It's great to see so many people on board for the 30 day challenge..
    I am busy packing as I am moving on Saturday.. I am going to be "offline" for about a week - eek! I normally come on here every day so it's going to be a bit scary.. I hope everyone keeps with the 30 day challenge whilst I am gone, and I will try my hardest too..
    So 3 more days and then I will be gone for a week!
    I hope everyone has a great AF day today.. I have only 2 more shifts with work then I am off for 9 days- one of the good things about moving, I get to take Annual Leave! :yay:
    Hi to all that follow..

    Katie xx

    Spam - LOL!! We do get fog here in Sydney; though most the time only in the Blue Mountains or during winter occasionally.. but like Brissy, it is too warm to get fog most the time.. its good your son got to experience it.. has he even seen snow? I believe it is fascinating to see snow for the first time.. maybe take him to NZ this winter to see what snow is like?!! If he found fog fascinating, im sure snow will be even more so!

      Hi KatieB and Spam. Its 4.30am in the UK and I can't sleep. Its freezing, there was a frost yesterday morning, and it snowed briefly - in Wales I think or somewhere over to the west. We have been putting the heating on again. Whats going on! It was warm and sunny a couple of weeks ago!

      I fell off the mountain. I had a beer at line dancing, and then two more when I got in. I'm not too angry with myself, its not as bad as what I have done in the past. I think a 30 day challenge is a too much for me at the moment, one day at a time is a better bet. I'll try 30 days when things have settled down a bit. Still got to finish decorating the kitchen, then the bathroom, porch, bedroom and my son's old room. If I do a little bit of the garden at a time it will get done eventually. You might ask why my husband isn't doing any of this, that would be a good question. And I hate him at the moment for not going to my boss's wedding reception.

      I hope your move goes well KatieB. Hard work, but a good time to sort through all the stuff you collect over the years? Are you moving very far?

      Spam, I envy you your weather! Do you ever miss our weather?!

      Ending on a positive note, day one, one day at a time. I'll see how many I can string together.

        No worries Little Owl.. I have been here 3 months, and ODAT was always the best bet for me.. its only now that I am truly taking on a 30 day challenge.. you do things in your own way.. but we are always here to help!
        Moving is a pain, but ive only been at my current place for a year, so I dont have too much stuff accumulated.. the biggest pain with moving is calling places up to give a change of address! such a hassle.. line dancing sounds fun! sorry to hear how cold it is there.. I am from the UK (as is Spam originally) but ive acclimatised to Aussie weather - anything below 20 is considered freezing to me now!
        Take care, and yes.. stringing days together is a good place to start.. i found my AF days were really mounting up even if i did drink every now and then,

          Good mornings!!!

          I decided to pop in a little earlier today as I seem always seem to miss the juicy discussions or come in at the end :-)

          That's funny Spam. lol. I can only imagine. One day I want to take my kids to Europe in Winter. Would love to see their eyes when they see snow. That'll be quite something. Don't think they've really seen fog yet either.

          Katie, How far are you in the 30 days challenge? Making good ground? Best of luck with the move. And hopefully you get to relax a little as well during your leave, thought that is unlikely I assume?

          Morning Little Owl, ODAT all the way. Just keep piling on those days and eventually when you got some momentum going you'll get to the 30. I'm sure.

          Pretty freezing here as well at the moment. Obviously nowhere near snowy conditions. But I'm shivvering. never the less. Time for some Coffee!!

          Have a great day!! I'll be sticking around today.

          The journey is the goal. As long as you're fighting the good fight and you're not giving up on giving up, you're winning. It's not about how often you get knocked down, it's about how often you get up again. Sobriety the goal for sure. But striving to get to that goal is what it's about. Not getting there. Because the journey never ends. The journey is the goal.

            Haha. Please do!!

            I agree to christmas in the heat not doing it!!! I just can't get used to that. I miss the snow, the fire, etc. The christmas spirit never seems to be the same here. In Europe it used to be strolling on christmas markets, etc. here it's pool partys :-) Also has it's attraction but definately doesn't feel christmas like to me.

                Morning everyone

                Spam & Johnny I wouldn't mind swapping the cold and damp at christmas for some sun!!! Think you must remember very rarely do we get snow at christmas in the UK its mostly rain :H:H:H

                Little Owl ODAT is the way to go - I joined here February and it was only last week that the penny dropped for me, it does take time and patience but trust me you will get there.

                Katie good luck with the rest of the packing

                Off for my morning hike, think this kind of excersise is great - armchair workout

                  Lol. Ok, fair enough. I originally (do I dare to say it?) come from Germany. Well my mom's side of the family. We do get snow there most winters. However the seasons get weired these days anyways. It probably wasn't snowing ofer christmas (not sure) but it was still snowing in April. Global warming taking it's course I guess.

                      Same here Spam!! I still have a really thick winter coat that I brought over with me from the UK as when I left it was freezing.. I still haven't worn it here in the 4 years ive been back! I only wear light jackets in winter.. and jumpers occasionally - but it does get a bit colder here in Sydney than in Brisbane.. x

                        Hey Twitch.

                        Well currently it's quite wet and cold (well about 15 Celsius or so?) here. Rather move into the Aussies' neighborhood.

                        BTW, I live under the illusion that one doesn't have to wear any coats here in SA which leaves me freezing half to death half the time I had to stand in front of the post office waiting for them to open in the early morning only wearing a shirt. I was shivvering and shaking.

                            Hi everyone

                            We lived in Montreal for 5 years and what I missed most when we moved back was the snow. We all learned to ski and have some great memories. Mind you when we are washed out of it here I could do with their nice summers as well!!!

                            Nice enough today so off out into the garden again. Finished power hosing the patio and now need to do some painting.
