Evening all:j
sleepyjo - Oh, I am sooooo proud of you. You go for it and we'll be with you all the way!

Happyshopper - could you please put me down for one more AF day today. This is only my first attempt and I am satisfied with 7 out of 10. I think I will try again for 10 in May please. If I exceed that target I will be a very happy bunny.

Good luck sleepy jo :j

Lillibet, well done to you :j

HS please put me down for 13 AFD's for Aprils grand total :j

I am pleased with that - added on to the 17 from my first months challenge in March & that is the equivalent of 1 whole month out of 2 that I haven't drunk for and for me that is amazing - never had thought I could do it

Thank you HS for doing a great job on the scoring this month :T:T:T

I am on the naughty bench tomorrow as usual for a Friday/Sat/Sun. May or may not have a drink on Monday being a BH :rolleyes: but will be back on the wagon on Mon or Tues for another target of 10 in May Hopefully I will exceed that target as I have managed to do these last 2 months :D

Have a good evening all xx

Evening, Lurky fans :wave:

Sorry for going AWOL, there's been more pressing matters to attend to (some of which may be revealed to a select few of you next week )

Anyhoo, in amongst all of it, I managed to rack up another 2 days, so my total for April is a measly 6.....

As for May.... I don't know as yet. I honestly haven't given it any thought... caught a post from Budgie about doing something else to improve life over and above cutting down.... really can't think, but I have a vague idea... something I've been meaning to do for months

Hope we are all well.....

Ok - Budgie, put me down for 15 - an arbitrary figure, but it gives me something....

Happy days
Lurky

(thanks for the kind words b & j )

Hi everyone :hello:

Firstly Happy Shopper just wanted to say thankyou so much for doing the scores this month, you have done a great job :T and if you do change your mind for May then I know a little birdie that will be happy to help I have made my target tonight but I have gotta tell you that I very nearly bought a bottle of wine as I had the most awful, stressful day.

I was emailing my boss with some important information and I ended the email with the classic line: I am now going to leave and throw myself off a very high cliff. However I sent it to our company director instead by accident :eek: (Don't ask).

So as you can see for once I did think of buying a nice bottle of red wine, but I haven't but it was close. So thankyou again and hugs and take care. xxxxxxxxx

Jo have you given any thought to joining in May? I don't want to put you under any pressure and its fine if you want to bow out. But of course anytime you would like to join in then let me know? Big hugs sweetheart and have you sorted anything out with the tax credits people? Lots of love xxxxxxxx

Stroppy hugs but please show caution with alcohol and your tablets, as Gc says 10 days will fly if you post on here. So do please take care of yourself and I hope you are feeling better soon. xxxxxxx

GG hugs and I don't have your target yet for May? Take care and look after yourself. xxxxxxx

Miss P hugs and glad piglet is behaving himself today, with regards to last night please don't dwell on it as you will only make yourself anxious. Move forward into May and staying af and losing a little weight, I too have Paul Mckenna somewhere around? I shall dig him out and yes we shall compare notes hugs and lots of love xxxxxx

Ntc love the pen I shall put you down for 16 my dear, hope you are well? Take care and hugs xxxxxxxxx

Mp I knew you were going for 31 but well done on joining in the better me challenge too, I must lose some weight and I hope being on here will help me? So hugs and take care.xxxxxxx

Eselt how are you doing? Hope all is well with you? Hugs and take care xxxxxxxx

Bhb you are doing brilliantly but 32 in May now thats just showing off;) Hope you and Mrs Bhb are a little better this evening? Hugs to you both xxxxxxxxx

Wbf hugs and I hope you make your target tonight? As Fb says you can do this, I am sending you positive thoughts. Lots a love xxxxxxxxx

Winebox hugs and I really am glad you are in my May challenge it just wouldn't be the same without you, well done on this month as you say its a very good improvement and something we will build on. Lots of love and take care xxxxxxx

Maman, Ld, Noynoy, Bis, Gc, Ra, 115k, Dotty, maz,pk,Fay, 40sm, and fb hugs and well done on your achievements this month :T xxxxxxxxxxx

Sleepyjo its so good to hear you sounding positive and yes watch out as there is a new girl in town well done on leaving the alchohol behind that is no mean feat and a real positive to take. So I am behind you all the way and again good luck angel. xxxxxxxx

So hugs to everyone else that I have not personally mentioned, I shall post the May list on Saturday as Hs will post tomorrow and I don't think I shall be able to make it online tomorrow as I have a really, hectic day and night :eek: I had just better be more careful who I email, oh dear as they say and

If you haven't posted your target yet then please give it some thought?
