* I'm sleeping like a log (when poorly piglet lets me **rolls eyes**)
* Despite it being a 6 week month, I still have money in my bank! (not a lot but much better than I would normally have expected it to be!)
* I've not had a single argument with OH - in fact, we're getting on rather well!
* I'm generally more placid.

Makes me wonder why I ever drink in the first place?? I hope it continues.

well since my weekend didnt go as planned I would like to sign up for 24 FAFF days please. alcohol one day per week only for the next 4 weeks.

I have nothing drinkable in the house, I have no naughty nibbles so I am hoping this will be the kick start my diet needs.

reading through Miss Piggy's list of things that improved for her, I am feeling very disappointed with myself as I have had lots of rows with my bf the last couple of weeks and I have been drinking a bit too much, more than normal. Wondering if there is a link.....

bf was meant to be on an alcohol free January with me but we both struggled, although him more than me. I identified that I was fine as long as I was with him - I do most of my drinking when I am with him....hmm what does that say about us? :eek:

I will carry on on my own though. if he isnt going to support me then balls to him! :mad:

Hi everyone. Thanks to HB for that fab scoring during January. It's really helped me. Fay I'm reporting in with 1/28 and happy to be FAFFING in February. Feel great today and getting to grips with my Paul McKenna weight loss system. Just been reading about the big get together - can I come please? Would be great to meet up with everyone if I'm free on the weekend you choose. Have a lovely evening everyone xx

Just called in to say lovely snowdrops fay, and wish everyone good luck on the first day of FAFFing around!!
