    hi all. 40SM can you please put me down for 20/26 AFD - that's including this evening.

    Even though I said I wasn't drinking Sunday I had a bottle of red and really enjoyed it and felt happier for my 2 nights of drinking this weekend, I was just getting too down. Wont drink again until next weekend and then we'll play it by ear. No sweats last night and slept brill :T.
    Just realised to make my target I can only drink one more day! Got my neice Friday night, and then we'll just see saturday or sunday. And I go on holiday in 5 weeks so really need to keep to diet.:mad:
