    Morning :hello:

    A Saturday AFD for me too. Everyone around me was drinking last night but I also couldn't face the calories so I resisted but I did eat 4 chololates :eek:which was probably just as bad!

    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.

  • Good morning all

    Shaggy - 10 for me please - and well done on resisting last night. Wouldn't worry about the chocolates - got to be better than a few glasses of wine, surely?

  • Had far too many glasses of wine last night and feel dreadful and guilty today. :mad: And it's pouring down too :mad:

    Shaggy - still on 9 but please can I increase my target from 18 to 22? Going on holiday, but I'm going to have some AFDs then too, and if I have the higher target, that will keep my resolve. :j

    I am on 11 AF days this month I think. But my boys are waiting to take me to the pub right now as I haven't been seen out for weeks. :) It is only 3 weeks.

  • Evening all :D

    Wasn't AF last night. Had dinner with DH at a lovely restaurant after going to see The Kings Speech. Colin Firth definitely deserves all the awards.

    I've wasted a potential AF day today by having half a glass of red with dinner. DH had poured it before I had got myself water. But there won't be more, so don't feel too bad. I'm just waiting to watch the dancing results, then off to bed.

    Dreading next week! Doing another full time week at work. YUK! But this is the last one thankfully. They've managed to recruit someone to fill the postion. I'm just trying to think of the extra money. It'll help with the week away we are planning in the Easter holidays :j
    Need to start again :o
