    Thanks!

    Fair point regarding stocking up on own brand pasta etc..

    I've already done that :)

    Have some basics on the cupboard, such as pasta, sauce, tuna, soup, beans, spaghetti etc. This is due to my ex - Girlfriend being a star and helping out a while back.

    So, I do have *some* food in!

    Would you like me to add you to the list as Target Free?


    OK, thanks DB :)

    No excuses not to keep this going now then.
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x

    It's got to be the full 31 for me.

    It'll be good to actually do a full calendar month this time. Everytime I've tried in the past I've fell a bit short...even when I did 44 days, it was the latter half of one month, and then the first half of the next.

    Will be nice to say 'booze free for a full month!'

    Welcome to rep - good luck and jump aboard the AF wagon!

    I've just completed a 3hr gardening stint and dug up some more dead bushes and planted a few more in place and a general tidy up. Planning on more tomorrow if the weather holds

    No bells ringing for me, drunk a lot of lime and soda and still have a bit of a headache for some reason.

    Declaring a Merry AFD 1 and a Merry Saturday

    Off to walk the dog then sort some tea out and an early night I think unless I stop up for MOTD

    Hiya all, DB thanks for scoring for May...if you wouldn't mind could you put me down as a TF this month, it will still be nice to update my af days and see how I am doing, but when I was aiming at a target I think I failed every month :o anyway... I also like joining the mini challenges so will jump on board with any of them going if I can....

    Sim what a lovely start to your day, with such a positive attitude, I had to work this morning and pulling myself out of bed at 7.30 was a struggle!!

    Also me and dh had a weigh in today as we have been trying to be healthy for the past few weeks (and I have on drunk around 6-7 days out of the last 3 weeks at the most) and I havn't lost any weight, which is a bit disapointing....

    Anyway like everyone has said, shiny new month starts today...

    Happy May Day all x
