Next month I think I will stop counting AFD and count units or bottles of wine or something. Its just that counting the days sometimes works against me .... I must finish this bottle tonight so that I can have one AFD instead of 2 IYSWIM. Or I am not wasting an AFD on a glass of wine!!
It would be far healthier for me to spread the wine over 2 or poss days and have 3 AFDS instead of 1 . At the moment , if I do that I think that I have failed. I hope I am making sense:o Don't worry I don't expect the scorer to count my units as well as AFDS ( that is hard enough). Who is the scorer by the way ???

AND AUGUST's SCORER IS MISS PIGGY :T:T:T

Thank you so much for volunteering.

40SM I think your idea is good. I don't think I could cope with counting units as I do love full fat wines but I may do a bottle count alongside my AF days. I have already noticed fewer trips to the bottle bank, so that's progress.

Have a good day everyone.

115K

I wasn't even AF last night when I said I was going to be.:mad: I finished the half bottle of wine in the fridge and then had another bottle after that as my DH brought one home for me (at my request.) I'm wondering whether to even bother with keeping score with my AF days if I don't stick to it.:rolleyes:

115k, hugs to you. Are you taking Kudzu? I can't remember


Well done to Miss Piggy for volunteering for August :T

I haven't decided yet if I am taking part in Augusts challenge as August is always an iffy month :rolleyes: Hubby and I both have August off and will be away on short breaks a few times, so will be away a lot, and I have said all along I will drink when away on holiday. I think I will still clock up 10 AFDs easily, but don't want to risk failing for the first time ever as it will de motivate me and have the 'sod it' effect on me IYKWIM Being in Augusts challenge may do me more harm than good :eek:

So not sure yet :rolleyes:

Miss_Piggy_2

Looks like its me then !:eek::eek::eek:

If anyone wants to have their totals counted differently (ie units or bottles) then I'm quite happy to keep track of those too (I must be mad). Just let me know nearer the time.

69chick - glad to hear you are slightly better . I expect you can't wait till 12.15!

Jo - 19 for me please!

All AF days count 115K. I would stick with it and perhaps next month don't have a target but just build days or count bottles?

I do understand Fluffy but I think you might feel worse if you pull out of August completely. What I do, is print off a calendar for the month and fill in all my weekends/socialising then estimate a conservative target (allowing perhaps one day a week for unexpected events). If I go over this then I can always 'claim' days back from weekends. Just a thought.

:rolleyes:
