    Glad to see you back SSG :D

    You certainly haven't p'd me off either, are you sure it's not the other way round???

    I think you could count today as an AF day. I always count from bed to bed IYSWIM. So, if have a drink tonight after midnight today wouldn't be an AF day but tomorrow could be.

    Have you any idea what pushes you?

    Wow you really think I could count today AF?

    It's irrelevant really as it's not about the numbers:D

    Which is good as i am certainly not going to make my target this month.

    Maman it's really just been boredom.

    But that's it

    No more vodka for me:D

    A day is 24 hours so any 24 hour period af is a day af.
