    Hi, can I join in please.

    I have a terrible wine habit thats ruining my health and my wallet. I can't remember the last time I had an AF day and I want it to stop, now.

    So, today I am going to be AF. I'm in with the family now and have plenty of soft drinks about. (Lets hope there's something good on the telly). I'll try one day at a time and see how we go as a few have got to be better than none at all.

    I just need to get past 9pm and then I know I can do it. Pen

    Hi Pen :wave:

    This place rocks :D

    Sadly, i'm on a bit of a timeout for health reasons (how ironic! bad shoulder, limited laptop use) but also I am working crazy hours. Finished at 1am the other day, start at 4 tomorrow :(

    Miss you guys & am definitely off kilter with the wine :o

    Likely to be MIA for another few days at least. Any PM's gratefully received til I can catch up

    bearhugs
