where each week you write something
using the three prompt words.
This week's words are . . .
ABSTAIN, HALO and PRAYER
It was late afternoon and I was feeling suitably pleased with myself.
Not only had I walked past two cake shops, I'd also actually scribbled CHEESE and WINE off my shopping list.
I arrived home that evening with a skip in my step, my halo still well and truly intact.
I'd had a cuppa soup, an apple, a salad with no dressing and one boiled sweet.
As I was rummaging in the freezer for the broccoli and planning my super healthy, calorie controlled tea, the phone rang.
"I'm on my way home, do you want me to bring a Curry and a bottle of wine?"
Eeek ... I'd managed to abstain the whole day.
I looked skyward, uttering a little prayer.
"Please ... pleeease let me say No!"
The prayer was still running through my mind as I heard the words.
"Yes, and get some onion bahjees while you're there."
Aaaghh ... what had I done!
The halo went clattering to the floor.
I closed the fridge and looked up once more.
"Please, if you are listening, let me for just once make it through ONE whole day!"

Ha ha, oh the test of discipline can be so hard sometimes.
Good work, that was entertaining. I was hoping she'd keep the halo as much as she wanted to.
Me likes =)
Great take on the three words. I love the humour in this. ;-)
Nice writing!
I hear you! I have this nightmare on an almost daily basis.
AHAHA, oh the woes a diet can cause. Thanks for the laugh, and welcome to 3WW.

I know this whole situation and related conversations so well. Maybe someday.
I love it! Absolutely love it! I can't tell you how many times I've tried to abstain from sweets. Not happening.
And please, satisfy what is almost a lifetime's idle curiosity...what exactly is a boiled sweet?
Sometimes it's really hard!
Nice flow to this piece. Cute.
I always fail at those tests lol. Great job with the prompt!
Thank you all for the warm welcome, I've really enjoyed joining in, and thank you for your comments,
I look forward to meeting you all again :o) x
... and Carina, I had to ask, but I think a boiled sweet is a hard candy!? hee hee
Cute! Portion control, of course, is the real problem. But who can say no to good curry?
I had a wonderful laugh at this! We can all identify with trying to be good. My halo is so dented it will never be perfectly round again...LOL!
Thanks for a bright spot in the day...
