    Thanks for you hard work Lurky, its been great fun! (Can't believe I'm saying that really...)

    Now for a consolidation month for me.

    Enjoy your day everyone and congratulations for all those alochol free days - 551 days so far if my arithmetic is right:D

    TRC
    Sealed Pot Challenge 2009 #478 (target £250)
    Debt free date - Dec 2013, Mortgage free date - Jan 2034
    AFF (12/28) [target - 12/28], AFJ (29/31) [target 25/31]
    AFM [no target] [AFD's- 8][1 drink- 4][2 drinks- 4][3 drinks- 1][>3 drinks- 4]
  • I've amazed myself, gone a whole week AF. Couldn't have done it without lurking on here. Recognise myself in so many posts.

    TY !

    HOORAY AND HOORAY AGAIN, sorry I am a little late with the cheers but Lurky you so deserve them. :T

    However I have got to say that you have missed a trick so to speak, just look how successful this challenge has been. Now if only you had gone along the lines of: no joining fee and a reasonable monthly membership. Or you could have taken a percentage of what everyone has saved? The mind boggles at the money you could have made, hey ho you will just have to have everyone's thanks and appreciation. Or ..... We could always pay you in: STOTTIE CAKE :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    February twunty tow and ar Dear Lorky canny muv due to stottie cake overlard. :rotfl::T

    Love and hugs my friend from me thats: Budgie B and everyone else on here. Gotta dash having my feathers plucked so to speak. xxxxxxxx

    Hi all- bit late too, but ....HURRAY!!!! and thank you Lurky and well done everyone- over 500 days between us, amazing. I know you are probably sick of it lurky, but if you do do a final tally mine will be 30/31.

    GP- well done on the weight loss, when my sister lost 6 stone with slimming world she was told to only weigh herself once a week at around the same time, because your weight fluctuates so much over the week and even over the day that she used to get frustrated if she weighed everyday because sometimes she'd inched up a bit or just stayed the same- when she weighed just once a week there was nearly always a loss. Know what you mean about the friday night routine, and for many people its a really enjoyable routine when they can relax and spend time with family and friends, but I never really drank like that, in the end I just wanted to get as trashed as possible, everyday, on my own- and thats just not nice, not nice at all.

    Winebox, thanks for doing the scores on the doors- just think if we did this every month for a year we could have clocked up over 6000 AFD's between us- mind boggling, can't even begin to imagine how many units or money saved that could be- hey, fay, if you get bored with willow there could be a PhD in there for you to research?!

    Best of luck everyone, EVERYONE has made such an effort this month, amazing.
