    Just a quickie - busy busy! Just as well I don't "have" to spend half the morning catching up on posts!

    Hi MP welcome back & happy both birthdays!

    Where's Jo got to? & Fay?

    Still on zero & had shocking amount of wine over weekend but hauling myself up by the bootstraps to have first April AF day today...I hope. I don't feel poorly, but rather weary. Feeling strong to be AF at the moment - it being rather early :D. Kudzu at the ready to take with lunch....

    wbf you about? you too?

    Oh, & happy new year to you all :rolleyes:

    Here's where we are so far after day 5. I've got off the mark with a measly 1, big woo! Perhaps the stress of doing the scores is driving me to drink (watch out for that in May, budget babe), although actually it's more likely to be the nice weather and social activities. We're missing info entirely for a few people - lurkio, ad1jnl, fay, jo, hope you're all ok. miamoo, do you want to add a target?

    I'll amend the list below if we get any more updates today.

    Hiya everyone!

    On 3 for the weekend but AF today and tonight making 4 AFD.

    Had 2 glasses of white wine on Sat and on glass on Sunday afternoon. Felt like this glass knocked my flying for a couple of hours. Haven't had a drink in the late afternoon for a long while. Felt a bit naughty doing this (had a spare glass left over from cooking) and then thought why didn't I freeze/keep it for a rissotto???????

    Anyway, can't believe 3 glasses over the weekend affected me so much!

    Mollypolly - glad to hear you had a good time away and CONGRATULATIONS on tomorrow!!!!! HSpuschel-schmal.gifHSgreatday.gif

    Did anyone read THIS article in the Mail today. Thought it would be an interesting read and has some scary stats in it. Wonder if she has been sneaking on here and joining the challenges:D

    Hi all, seems like a successful weekend of cutting down/quitting to me, well done everyone. Just wanted to wish molly well for her birthday and her amazing AF achievement tomorrow- molly you really are a shining star.

    Missing a couple of people- bis where are you? fay, how you doin? Jo you OK- you seem a little quiet?

    Best of luck tonight everyone.
