Good luck Jon. I hope you start to feel better soon.

I have been scoffing food non-stop since I stopped drinking two days ago.:rolleyes: I have had breakfast, lunch and dinner (and some snacks) today and it is only 12.30.:mad:

HI all

I've had a slip up - a major one of 3 bottles of wine - but am still doing so much better - done 19AFD this month so far!!! Feeling strong.

Much love and hugs to all.

Afternoon everyone!

NTC, Budgie and Eselt - thanks for the advice / kind words about my decision to make my life easier! I kept him home from nursery yesterday and we had a lovely morning. I've just dropped him off today and he seemed a bit better. I work part time but do feel the rest of my time is taken up with constant cleaning, washing etc. So in future me and little boy are having some "Us" time in the mornings to do drawing, painting etc.

Niall - welcome to the thread. As others have said, stick around. People on here always have excellent advice.

Sea78 - nice to see you still lurking ! 19AFD is great!

Well, my anti-biotics finish today and am feeling much better. Still lacking energy but am taking multi-vits to boost myself a bit. Find strong coffee helps too !:D

Hope everyone else is doing ok.

Oh and I know its naughty but because he was so tiny when he was born and I was so happy to have him that on his birthday I used to keep him off school so we could spend the day together Well it didn't interfer with his education and I got to have a special day with him. (Kinda fizzled out in the teenage years though) :rotfl:Lots of love sweetheart and glad to hear you are feeling better now, though a little tired. Big hugs xxxxx

Wahoo!!!! :j :j 15 AFD's for me :j

That's half a month :eek: :j

I didn't do many more than that in the whole of last year put together and it's my first go in the challenge so I am chuffed [can you tell :rotfl: :rotfl: ]

Anyway, that's it from me for this week. I will be on the naughty bench tomorrow for the weekend - off the bench again on Monday though

Still fretting over April though as I am going away on holiday and have other things going on too so will be setting another low target but won't do as well overall as I have this month
Still, I will do better in May though,eh?

Have a good evening everyone - hope you are all ok xx
