  • Hi All
    and many thanks for your words of welcome

    The expression wine bells is fantastic and clarion for me started about 5pm on getting home from work .

    So decided to keep busy , had a sandwich and then made dinner for the next two days and tidied out the fridge by the time this was done the bells were muffled .
    Had a cup of tea and went to bed at 9.30 pm with my book . Got up this morning and walked for an hour . Felt really good
    so thanks for the support good feeling that this will work

    Me, too. I like playing snap!!

    's*d it' day on Tuesday to see off June. I did enjoy sitting in garden chatting with OH over a drink but it was my only lapse (drinking at home on 'ordinary' days is banned) from planned AF days.

    Lots of socialising yesterday but drinking was relatively moderate. AF planned today. Catch up later.

    Well done nettttie - what a great result. Did you find it easier than you thought it was going to be, or did you struggle at all? I'm only aiming for 8 in July, as I want to take it slowly, but even 8 seems quite a task. I'm hoping Day 2 will be easier having got Day 1 under my belt today.

    Just consuming my 10th cup of decaff coffee!! and about to go onto the lime/fizzy water.


    I struggle during PMT and bordom! I take the Kudzu and they help.

    all the best x

    Nettie, I am the same re pmt...I like the fact that you are committing to today as af, I am aiming for it, but won't be sure till I get through the early evening..

    Have done a mountain of ironing (phew roasting hot here today and I have a conservatory which is like a sauna as we have a south facing tiny garden I really think the conservatory company should have warned us that it would not be useable during any warm weather!!) and cleaned out my fridge today as well as loads of general tidying..have the family staying this weekend (all drinkers!) so need to try to make the house look half decent.....difficult though with my lot...
