    MoD and Lilith - would you like to set a pledge of alcohol free days (AFDs) for the rest of the month? No pressure of course :D Lots of posters just come on this thread for a chat....which is fine too :D

    Have a great day all :hello:

    Hi Shaggy, sounds like a plan. What do I do?

    I have been AF for 6 days now :T not planning on total abstinence but being careful when I do go out and drink.

    And what does MAD mean? I need to get used to these abbreviations lol

    Well done Lilith (fab name btw - no similarity to Frasier Crane's ex wife I trust?)on your 6 AFD's great start to your MAD campaign (stands for March Alcohol Detox btw)

    Number 9 for me please Shaggy - feel rather out of sorts (suspecting that OH has graciously passed on his manflu ) so don't think that there'll be any nasty drinking to be done today

    Hope you're ok HB - mmmmmm evenings out that deteriorate after alcohol consumption? How surreal is it to be looking at the proceedings through sober eyes and largely thinking 'what the f**k?!@'

    Many happy returns Maman and hi to yellow monkey - hope you're keeping well

    I'm off to Edinburgh for a few days. Never been before and would welcome any must do/see/eat ideas.

    Maman, there's a good thread here on things to do in Edinburgh, one thing for sure you won't be bored. Plus there are lots of great MSE activities.

    My best tip? Don't take a car into the centre of Edinburgh at the moment:eek:. £3 a day buys a one day bus pass. The bus services are very good and will take you everywhere you want to go.
  • Happy Birthday Maman :j I hope you have a great day.

    Sending a hug to you HB. Hope you are feeling better today.

    I'm hoping to join the peeps going MAD together group tonight :)

    Happy Birthday Maman

    I know we haven't spoken before but I went to Edinburgh a few years ago and went to this restaurant called Bad A** and it certainly was - they do a mean haggis with chips. Yum yum! :T

    Have a fab time :D
