Just a quickie as I am finishing an essay today and I have GOT to get it done, because it is due in and I don't have any more days to work on it after today - EEEEK!! :eek:
1 more AFD for me please.
I am doing carp on the drinking front, but until all 3 of my essays are submitted (6th December is the deadline for the last one) I can't seem to devote my efforts to staying AF.
Jo - I've PM'd you. It didn't show up on my "sent" box, so do contact me if you haven't got my message.
Good luck to all for another AFD. Not sure how mine will pan out at the moment - depends on how the essay goes, LOL!
Hugs

7th AF day for me today.
I have been cramming my face with as much food as I can find as a substitute, it's stupid as I obviously wouldn't be drinking at this time of day anyway so why am I feeling deprived right now.:rotfl:HOUSE MOVE FUND £16,000/ £19,000

7AF and I claim my smiley face!! please Shaggy
and that's one for this week's challenge too Pen.
I'm feeling rough today too, sore throat and temperature. Hopefully it's only a cold and I'll keep it at bay with paracetamol etc (and that's not any alcoholic etcs either:p). At least I now know that my fuzzy head and dry mouth yesterday weren't caused by drinking. Sorry so many others are feeling poorly.
:TAaagh, I think you've made huge progress in a very short time. Someone on here experimented with counting units rather than AF days. That might be an idea if you like just one/two glasses of an evening. Personally I think I'm better on AF days because me and a bottle of wine are a bit like Mastermind (I've started so I'll finish:o).
I'm going to complete my 10AF target. It's very lowly but it's a bit of a safety net in that I MUST meet it but will be secretly disappointed if I don't exceed it. In my head my target's more like 15 but holidays and things keep getting in the way.
cazza, remember all AF days count and good luck with your assignments.

I'm sorry I didn't update at the weekend, plus I caved into a couple of drinks on Sat and Sun despite feeling rubbish beyond belief with a terrible bug. I am staying AF for the rest of the month because my eczema has flared up again and I need to see if its the A that's triggering it off
