  • Good Morning Everyone,

    A Belated Merry Christmas to you all. Spent Christmas Day at my Mum's and ate too much.:rolleyes: as is expected though I guess.

    Completed my 100 day challenge on Christmas Eve, :D and decided with my partners support to enjoy Christmas Day with some wine with my meal, and a few glasses in the evening.:rolleyes:

    I must say, I did'nt particularly enjoy it, did'nt taste as good as it used too. I did'nt feel at all guilty though, and I have made sure that I only have two bottles in. One for Christmas day/boxing day, and the other for New Years Eve.

    OH wont allow me to buy any more, so with his help I will only loose 3AF days this month, and then start my next challenge on Jan 1st.

    So Marru, I wont make target this month, sorry. 24 AF days.

    I'm having the family over today, told them I will drive, and they must bring their own wine etc if they want to drink!! Cheeky I know, but best:D

    Hope everyone had a great christmas, enjoy boxing day.

    Hello and Merry Christmas to everyone hope that you are all having a lovely time :santa2:

    Sorry I've been off the radar for a bit, things just so hectic :rolleyes: I've not been particularly good with being AF but am still drinking less than before.

    Hoping to have a few AF days this week but won't make my target by a long shot :mad:

    Off to catch up, have a great Boxing Day,

    Pledged 498 had 312 AF days which is 63% in 81% of time

    And full table here

    I am not going to make my target as had glass of wine yesterday with my Christmas lunch.

    Having relaxing boxing day and BF is cooking something that smells delicious for lunch and afterwards I am hoping to curl up with a new book and box of fudge. Bliss.

    Hello to you all,

    Just dashing in to tell you that I completed my second AF Christmas Day apart from one Baileys profiterole.....Once I realised what it was I didn't eat the rest......urggggggggggg:eek:
    I never liked Baileys when I was drinking so certainly didnt like it yesterday.
    I think I can forgive myself that though as it was an accident.;)

    Ok....off to DD2s now for another xmas feast.
    Enjoy your Boxing Days everyone and Take care of you.

    Love
    Mollypollyxxxx

    16 for me, please Marru, ta

    Been skiing in France - might as well have stayed here, lovely snow and blue sky here when we got back. Very disappointed with the accommodation, far too small, so I'll be complaining to the tour operator. So cramped that we had a huge family argument mid-week, which almost ruined Christmas. its wonderful to be back in our house, but the heating hasn't been coming on and it's freezing :eek:

    Anyway, no more family hols for a long time now. Too stressful now the 3 DDs are all teenagers and DH acts like one :mad:

    Bi for now :cool:
