Morning all

I had some wine last night, which was a BIG mistake. Alcohol is very bad for the larynx *stupid*

We told you to stick with the Lemsip!

Morning all! (just...!)

5 for me now please Shaggy and day 1 of the challenge Pen

I think I peaked too soon today. I was full of beans at 6:30 and got loads done before work, but now I'm looking at my desk and deciding if it would make a comfortable pillow. I think the answer is no

Off to see what you've all been up to...

I did drink while away (as I planned to) but I am much changed since joining this thread. I'm delighted that I'm no longer planning the second drink while I'm drinking the first. I'm not watching everyone else to be sure I get more than my fair share of a bottle. I'm not obsessed with having a bottle in my room because I can't wait 'til dinner time. And tonight I've slipped back into AFness no problem. Result:D

That's exactly what I would love to be like next week. I really don't know if I'm there yet, but even if I can just manage to avoid the bottle in the room I would count that as a result.

We're going to the Isle of Wight with my cousin's family, can't wait :j The main thing is that I need to be AF again straight after getting back. Hopefully I'll look back at this post and remind myself...

CC Interesting article. I had no idea Zoe Ball had a problem. I think alcohol abusers are in the minority but it is still, obviously, a wide spread problem.

**** Mon to Thurs Challenge - Half Term News ****

I am going to be away from Friday for the weekend and I'm taking the week off next week.

If somebody wants to provide holiday cover for the Mon to Thur challenge next week - please do.

Otherwise, you can post your results next Friday morning (29th) and I will do you a scoreboard for Friday night.

There is no getting away from the challenge (sorry ) and half term is no excuse for letting things slide

I need all this week's scores by Friday 11am please as I won't have the computer after that.

Everything will return to normal on Monday 1st Nov.


OK - bossy post over now (just trying to get organised) Pen x

Thanks Pen, you are so kind to think of us. I want to be AF next Monday to Thursday but..... the way you're planning it will suit me just fine. It'll be like target free, one day at a time but with an incentive not to slip. Thank You.
