    Right, so I THINK I'm up to 12/28... Having some issues with the adding up!

    After my one-glass blip on Thursday (and quite pleased I stopped at the one!) and not getting to bed till 3am working on the stupid assignments, I lay in a heap on Friday, drank lemon squash and went to bed early! Went to the pub with some friends last night, and really reminded me what lovely mates I have - I know them through uni and the Army (TA) and they tend to drink a LOT - but they didn't ask questions or try to press me into having a drink, just kept me topped up with lime and soda and the conversation flowing! :D

    So, have "used up" all my non-AF days in order to meet my target, we'll just have to see how we go...

    Well, I went out last night despite being unwell (husband work thing, important that I went). As I was driving and dosed up on various cold remedies I had just a couple of glasses of champagne, then water all night.
    Today I feel really bad, all fluey and terrible cough, so AF for me.

    Is there a challenge this week? I'd like to join in for all 'school nights' if possible please.

    *totters back off to bed*
    Trying to keep in budget.

I was a bit worried that i would be craving the booze tonight, but havent which is progress so 10 AF days for me please Shaggy and Pen please put me down for 4 days on Mon-Thurs challenge.
