    Evening lovelies :wave:

    Just a half a bottle of fruit cider shared with DH, so I count that as an ALD :) I think that takes me to 14/22 please Shaggy - thanks for keeping count x

    Another AFD so that is now 4/10 for me please Shaggy. Really heard the bells though (watching the Apprentice is a real trigger!!)
    Trying to keep in budget.

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    I think I'll go for a target of 4 ALDs (less than 4 units) out of 7.

    Great. So we have 16 days left in October - so shall we say a target of 8 ALDs for the rest of October out of a possible 16 ? You can always beat your target!!!!

    So my motto is 'don't take your eye off the ball'.

    I've been posting on this thread for six years (others have been here longer than that :D) and I also keep an alcohol spreadsheet - so yes it is possible to never take your eyes off the ball:D

    ok, thanks shaggydoo i'll start with that :) and see if I can do a bit better than my target.

    Yesterday I only had 3 units. It was nearly 2.5 but I hummed and haaad whether I'd sleep or not or cut down too fast and so I had an extra glass. My little glass is half wine half water so it only contains 1/2 a unit (I measure it on the bottle). In fact what they should do with wine bottles is have a marker in the glass every unit, save me doing the finger and thumb method.

    I'm not sure how to write it on here, will it be x/16 ALD?
