    Since I've heard nothing to the contrary I will assume I'm scoring October :D So

    SET YOUR TARGETS FOR OCTOBER PLEASE

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.
  • Morning all, not AF for me last night but not hungover levels either. And I slept through very well, complete contrast to the night before pacing around feeling rough from 2.30 am to 6.30 am.

    Well done to everyone who resisted or didn't hear the bells last night - have a good day!

    If I don't drink this evening then it will be 29 AF days for me this month and 37 AF on the trot ;o))) Next month I will be drinking whilst savouring my food it some Italian restaurant in Florence ;o)) not too much though.
  • Hello again...

    Trasij - thanks for your post - decided that perhaps I will hang around after all.... Mother T will you join me??? go on.. go on..

    Shaggy, please would you put me down for 20 days for October and thank you for scoring x

    Managed another AF last night. I seem to have got the week days nailed now, although without fail have the BELLS on my way home from work and the walk from station passing numerous offies and supermarkets. Seem to be able to fight the bells at the moment and have been able to for the last month or so, but I still know that I have potential to cave in. So far so good though.

    Have had 8 days AF in a row!! Phwooo Phwoeee! this is unheard of for me - I am chuffed to bits. I was hoping that all these days AF would leave me glowing and vibrant but unfortunately I have been struck with a severe head cold for the past few days. Unable to breath through my nose so have been wandering around with my mouth hanging open like the village idiot! but I do feel more energetic and almost verging on cheerful at work....

    I have Friday and Monday off this week - long weekend looming so hope I can be sensible..

    Hope you are all ok and thanks for your comments regarding my previous post.
    Love Flump x

    Flump, don't worry, when you have got over you cold and have a few more AF days under your belt you'll look radiant
    Trying to keep in budget.

    I don't mind listing just one night, if you only want to think one day at a time :)

  • Ok I'm back (stroppy head worn off now :o)

    Sorry I am not going to be serious all the time cos personally I don't feel that works for me. Life needs a bit of lightness and love around the edges to keep us all going :)

    Give me a shout if anyone wants to pledge just for tonight or fancies trying the special offer 2 night challenge.

    Hope you are all well and coping ok, Pen x
