Staying 'dry' in Manchester

This January will be a 'dry' month for me, at least in the booze sense of the word. I'm helping to raise money for The Lesbian & Gay Foundation by undertaking a sponsored no drink January along with some of my colleagues. Research I've helped collect has found that lesbian, gay and bisexual people are more likely to suffer with substance use issues so all proceeds will go to helping fund support services for lesbian, gay and bisexual people who are suffering with alcohol issues.

If you've made a resolution to give more to charity of get involved in your local community why not sponsor me? Text 70070 with LDRY99 £3 to donate the cost of a pint. I guarantee you'll feel better than I do during my extended diet coke break...

On Friday a work mate described my outfit as very 'That Girl' - referencing the 1960s feminist sitcom featuring Marlo Thomas. I've literally dined out on that all weekend...what a compliment!
