  • Hi guys :wave:

    I've been pondering whether or not to join you for some time. Infact I've been lurking since the beginnning of the year (stalker alert :D), and watching you all do very well, and now I'd like to join if that's ok.

    I know I drink too much and too often, and I need to cut down drastically, if only to stop me doing something else dangerous to myself. At the moment I'm waiting for the results of a CT scan on my brain, after I fell after I had several too many at the office xmas party in december.

    Anyway, as I said I've been stalking you lot and have been counting my AF days alongside you. So, I managed 5 in Jan :o, and 9 in Feb (a bit better).

    So if I can, could you put me down for a target of 14 days for March please?

    Thanks x

    Hi Rachel, and welcome out of lurkdom and onto the thread. Well done for your AF days so far and good luck for March and fingers crossed for your scan results.

    Shaggy, that's 13/14 for me please. Thanks for all your work scoring in Feb. I'm going to aim for 16 in March.

    Lotti - enjoy your romantic evening!

    Didn't happen in the end, Mr Lotti is feeling poorly... so postponed again. :(

    Oh well, I would rather have a nice dinner with him on top form than a bit down in the el dumpo's, so we had risotto instead of the planned beef welly and pecan pie (mmmm... we'd better have this planned evening soon, I want to try out my pecan pie recipe!), I got some studying done and stayed AF which takes me up to 10/10 thank you very much! Just snuck in under the wire there!! :D :j :D :j :D :j

    Off to beddybyes now, sleep well all!

    Morning :hello:

    One more AFD for me, so I'm finishing the month on 26 which is the same as I achieved in Feb 2010 :)

    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.

    I had to do some work Sunday afternoon instead of watching the match and I was feeling sorry for myself that I was missing out. As it was I was glad that I'd missed it :(
