115k you are right, female I is. Never chucked up at a Queen concert though so not guilty there Obviously WB was just impressed by my macho drinking levels and thought I was a 6 foot Geordie bloke rather than a short London female.

I love to be right.;)

I think some people on here thought I was a bloke at first too. *Looks down and checks for boobies* Yes, I'm a girl alright.:p

Hi all,

I've been lurking on here since Christmas and pop in most days, and have to say it's very inspirational. So, if ok I'd like to join the August challenge!

I've been drinking wine every night for a number of years - mostly sticking to a bottle during the week but going upto a bottle and a half on weekends. Things came to a head in December when I ended up having to see the out of hours doctor at the local A & E as I was having palpitations (and dispepsia) through excessive alcohol consumption, so decided enough was enough.

Since then I have cut down and have at least 2 or 3 AF nights a week during the week, but still tend to go overboard on the weekends because I think I've been good for a couple of days! I don't want to cut it out completely (yet) but want to aim for clear Monday to Thursday for a couple of weeks, and much more sensible levels at weekend, and see how it goes from there. Last sunday was a point - ended up having to cycle down to the local offie at 8pm when it was hammering down with rain, just to get my 'fix' for the evening :mad: so I said afterwards that will be the last time I'll do that.

So, if I can, I'd like to go for 16 AFD's in August.

The Mook.

I have always assumed you were a chap!

Maybe it's the avatar? Looks a bit blokey, maybe?

Ok I'll now amend my behaviour accordingly and stop burping and scratching myself whenever I talk to you.
