Morning all,

I didn't log on yesterday and what a lot of positive stories I nearly missed. I've trawled back this morning so:

Aaagh Welcome to the thread and well done on your early achievement.

365 What can I say Brilliant seems inadequate. Same goes for hiney.

Huge well done to everybody else who is keeping ahead.

Jo 2:)'s please. thanks for running the challenge.

Shaggy 21 for October please.

Morning all

Jo so happy no bells for you still :beer: what exactly is the million pound drop? I am on 2 days now thanks

Shaggy I am up to 8 days now ta - ooh and just realised I have beat my score of AF days last month :j

Maman I seem to be 'all or nothing' too although i hadn't ever really thought of it like that!

I am so happy I managed another AF day yesterday ,didn't really have a problem with it at all, I did have a very early night (9pm) which seems to help for me, if I know I am not going to be staying up late I don't feel there is any point in drinking

Have a lovely day everyone x

Million Pound Drop is a prog on C4 at 10pm, it's a live show, contestants start with 1mil and have to gamble the money on multiple choice topical questions....v. good, would've lost the lot on the last question last night if I was playing :rotfl:

Two days please, Jo

18 days please Shaggy

Must go - loads to do

Have a good day all

I feel like I`ve been away for ages but its only been 6 days (in Cornwall ) all of which I was drinking. 6 days drinking has left me with a puffy face, spots, 5 pounds heavier and no energy, I cant wait to go AF again. I`ve only managed to notch up 8 AF DAYS THIS MONTH SO FAR - SHAGGY, THANKS FOR SCORING.

loving deep sober sleeps

It's alright for you, I havn't slept well for weeks. Has anyone tried nytol or similar, Does it work?

Thanks, RN

jo1972

I have no idea RN sorry.....maybe it's the medication you are on that's disturbing your sleep?

Hi everyone,

I've only managed Monday for AF 3 day challenge at the moment - slipped up yesterday, sorry!

But today is another day and hopefully it will come good and I will be AF.

365 and Hinny - what can I say? Wonderful, incredible and fantastic and aspirational! You truly are success stories. :T

And my carpy cough just won't go away! I can't sleep as I am coughing all night. I get rid of my tonsillitis and this cough takes its place, grrrr. I will feel well at some point, hopefully!

On a positive note, I am being treated to a chinese meal tomorrow evening (a date!) and am very excited. So I am sitting here with my hair dye on and gonna get myself preened and lovely in readiness.......and yes I know it's tomorrow, but I SO need the pampering, it may take a while, LOL.

Hugs

Enjoy the pampering cazza (and the Chinese and the date tomorrow). Try to have an AF night so you'll be all bright and sparkly! Hope cough goes soon. Are you on antibiotics?
