    Well, ladies and Gentlemen..... one year ago tomorrow I made an innocuous comment on this thread... well, the original thread, but you know what I mean :cool:
    still, errrm, Lurking...... but going for an AFJ (Alcohol free January) - anyone else getting on board?


    I had no idea that anyone would join me, that anyone would continue it in to February and here we all are, still setting and acheiving targets that we may not have otherwise attained.

    So I'd like to say a big well done to everyone who jumped on with me and I think we're all slightly better people for it :A

    So here's to all you AFJers....

    jo1972 - losing the odd skirmish, but I think you're winning the war hun. :T :T
    Needstochange - I'm sure you have! :D
    Miss Piggy - well done and thanks for keeping everyone entertained with starnge tales of Piglet etc.... :rotfl:
    Mollypolly - ahh Molls, what can I say. you're a star :kiss::D
    winebox - still AWOL? pop in and see us now and again
    eselt - good to see you around again (I think you went AWOL for a little while too?)
    *Mari*- well done
    Grey Pilgrim - admire your perseverence, GP. LArd loss and AF..... well done!
    115K - great effort! well done
    yellow monkey - stick in there, chap..... I know you'll crack it (p.s. I like vimto too :o)
    Bismarck - ahhh Bis. Ever the calm, wise words that this whole thread thanks you for
    barshamhillbilly - Sir William! Living the dream fella. Living the dream ;)
    budget babe - oh sweet Budgie, hope all is well with you. Senning you big (((hugs)))
    fayjmck - last, but by NO means least, my favourite Ork(neyan) :rotfl: You have more fight in you than a fighty thing and I admire you greatly for that.

    To all who have come along since, a big :xmassign: to you all :xmastree:

    The Christmassy Lurky :xmassmile

  • hello all,

    popping in with a few more AF days under my belt - last night & Saturday and not drinking quite so much the nights I did drink - so result! :j

    Will probably be AF tomorrow night as I thik OH wants me to pick him up after his night partying - I'm being a party pooper this year, can't be bothered going to London.

    Fay - sorry to hear about the Ph.D - hard enough and without support damn near impossible - hope you get a good outcome at tomorrow's meeting.
    Anyway having a small swally tonight and have tomorrow off - so hope it snows and can wrap myself in duvet :D
