    Anyone hear a massive thump a few days ago? That was me falling off the wagon.

    Tantalisingly close to the 100 day challenge. It was a friends wedding. I just went for it and had a fair amount to drink.

    And lets not muck around - although I'm kicking myself for it, I actually enjoyed the night so I'm not going to let the disappointment cloud the memory.

    Let me just amend my autosignature and mentally prepare myself for starting again back at 0 days...

  • This thread is running away from me, I am days behind on reading but I hope you're all doing well and enjoying the pre Christmas lull before the storm of Xmas shopping, cooking, partying .....

    that's 30 for me for November GG and thanks for doing the scoring so brilliantly.

    I'm not planning to drink in December either (never ever thought I would say these words:D) so can you put me down for 31 please Marru.
  • Oh, just missed the totals, do I still get a jumpy??

    Declare on 17 please gg

    Drunk more than I should have done when I did drink but managed more than half the month AF ;)

    Did not manage the triathlon of shopping centres today. Done Toys R Us and Lakeside but the queues at the Dartford crossing were massive and I was almost glad to pay my £1.50 to actually get into 2nd gear :rolleyes:. Big crash on the M20 coming home so took ages but worn out now.

    Happy St Andrews day to the Scots contignent Scottish%20Foods%20Logo.jpg

    Hey naany nooo :D

    Got to say massive well done to gg for scoring :T:T:T:T

  • Life's better without booze, and today I have no desire to drink. I hope you can find the same peace of mind too

    I so wish I could find that same peace of mind too GC - was doing so well for about a month then it all went pear shaped (or bottle shaped), already had a bottle of wine tonight and just sent hubby out for some more, how sad is that! I am thinking about my new year resolution (for about the 10th year running) is there any hope - right now I am not so sure.
