  • I'll start....ashamed to say that last month I ......ahem wet the bed??!!

    How bad is that!!!

    I have a friend whose job entailed travelling around the country and staying in hotels.

    For this reason he was unable to use the same hotel twice.

    That was what I was going to do until I was told otherwise :rotfl::rotfl:

    Welcome geranium72.

    Hope everyone is well and dandy. I am hard at work ATM and should make another AF day but will confirm in the morning.

    Only got this block at work then off with me tent down to the New Forest on Thursday for a weeks camping. BBQ when I get back and then I will not be buying beer to keep in the house from the 17th August. Will only drink on nights out and Golf etc which I intend to play every day :D. Only joking but I have got to get out of the habit of buying 8 cans thinking I will only have one a night and then necking the lot.

    Hope you all have a great evening

    I used to wet the bed too, and other people's beds, couches, bathroom floors, etc. Not all the time, but I wouldn't have to do it a lot to leave a lasting impression!!
    And me.:o:o

    Remember that we deal with alcohol,

    cunning, baffling, powerful!

    Just doing a quick message as on my hols at my Mums and on Dads pooter...I have managed 16 afds this month (as I know tomorrow is unlikely to be one) I am fairly pleased with this figure as I had forgotten that I was away for this week starting last Friday and its really difficult here cos everyone here drink regularly and I am a cutter downer after all...anyways I have managed 2 afds since arriving and yesterday I only had 2 glasses of wine in the pub and on one of the other days I just had a couple of halves of lager with my Mum...

    will catch up with you all properly when i am back on Sunday no doubt...Miss p i want to be in the august challenge but I will let you know the figure am away on my proper hols at the end of August so I want to make it realistic..

    Have a great weekend all

    hugs xx
