    AFD 2 for me today. Just polished off 3 glasses of ribena and am sat watching the footie now.

    Hope you are ok Jo and the bells stopped tolling for you, hope you had some choccie choc choc instead to help.

    Had my first Berroca today, I think it really helped with my energy this afternoon and my mood improved too, strangely. Just need to find some from a place that sells them cheap now

    Been good today so thats one for me please Budget Babe. Had a really really naughty weekend so today was not a problem to abstain:rolleyes: Might go for the pamper idea tomorrow - my nails are very nasty at the moment so I feel a manicure is in order. I like this plan of doing something special for yourself on the nights you dont have a drink.

    Evening all:j
    LD reporting for duty BB, sir. One more delicious, delectable, desirable [STRIKE]Lillibet dripping[/STRIKE] AF free day please:D

    Have spent the evening de-cluttering my office bookshelf - why I keep all this tut I don't know. Looks an awful lot better now though and it has kept me from opening a bottle (not that I've got any in the house anyway:rotfl:)

    Hope you have all had a good day. Will catch up in the morning. Am off to bed with a cup of camomile and honey tea.

    love n'stuff

    P.S For those in the know, I have also had a NSD and a PAD. Way to go Lillibet:T
