    Morning all :wave:

    14 for me please WBF.

    That makes it 2 calendar months AF as I haven't had a drink since valentines day! It was never my intention to stop drinking but the advantages of not drinking (lovely sleep, saving money, etc) and my diet seem to have have crushed my urge to drink, at least for the time being:D

    Hi all

    Peer pressure is a dradful thing isn't it.

    Still, they got used to me sitting there with a lime and soda eventually.... no, hang on... they didn't. They kept on and on about it :rotfl:

    BUT - I had told myself I wasn't gonna drink and didn't :) :j :j

    3 on the challenge Sparky, and 8 overall please WBF



    Jo - Best of luck, hun. :grouphug: you'll be ace!

    Budgie - :j :j :j - its progress, hun ;)

    :DNeigh, neigh, and thrice neigh :D

    w00t.gif well done you :T:T:T:D

    why thank you :D:D

    Once I got the mindset, it wasn't too bad. i must admit, I was having an internal battle all day of 'should I, shouldn't I' :rotfl: :rotfl: but by the time I got to the pub I was just 'thirsty' and didn't really fancy a beer :)

    :DNeigh, neigh, and thrice neigh :D

    Hiya everyone...off to work in 2 secs but just wanted to say...We had two AF days each here!! We both seem to be sleeping better and I woke up at 6.30am feeling great, i really do think it is the AF???

    Well done both of you :j. I'm sure you are feeling so good in the morning because of being AF.

    Morning Everyone.

    Jo - best of luck on your first day. Lurky - well done on the lime and soda!

    I wasn't AF last night. Still in the holiday mood. I'm starting today though
    so can only do the last day of the challenge. I hope there's one for the weekend! I was told yesterday that I have to lose 3 stones so better get
    on with it!

    Have a good day everyone

    Well done Lurks :T

    Thanks for the good luck piccy Shaggy.

    Sparkles, that's another one for me thanks, though have no idea how I achieved that!

    Totally crapping oneself this morning and still unsure of what to wear. Trying to make myself eat summat but too nervous, I really need to pull myself together :rotfl:

    1 hour and 20 minutes to go :eek:
