Sorry - yes! I don't actually know what I am doing here really ?? I am a secret millionaire.

maz123 (and anybody else?), do you want to join the April challenge for the 2nd half? If so, let me have your target of however many alc. free days you'd like to achieve out of the remaining 15 days. Might be motivating...? No worries if not. Fluffybishop, I can see that you've thanked people so I think it's working. It's a known issue anyway, see here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=20537965&postcount=49 so I'm sure they'll sort it.

EDIT: Jo, that was a very budget babe-like post! Hope she's alright 'n all.

Can I just ask you guys how you cope in pubs/restaurants without alcohol? I have a wedding reception this weekend and I fear it is going to be a nightmare. Last time I had one of these when I was alcohol free I lasted 1 hour and had to leave, without alcohol pubs really are horrible places.

Hit the quote button:rotfl:

But seriously. Go into a pub say 11pm on a Sat night, everyone will be there having a ball because they are drunk/tipsy. Now remove the alcohol from the equation I wonder how many would be having a ball.
