    What a great thread, excuse my newbee exuberiance but one of my massive weaknesses is buying too much alcohol when I cant afford it.

    Can anyone join in?

    Pro-rata for March I am going to try for 13 AF days for the rest of the month.

    Welcome roougers, of course you can join. Shaggy will read your post in the morning and add you to our list. Well done on your ambitious target for the rest of the month. It's surprising how many of us on here find it easier to be motivated by saving money or calories (me included:o) although it's our health and well being that will win in the end!
    AFD14 for me please Shaggy

    Ouch sparkles, that sounds painful in your mouth and pocket!

    Another night done here and congratulations to everyone else who managed an AF night.:T

    7AF please Shaggy.

    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.

    Still on 6 today sadly. Leapt off the wagon last night and have landed with a bump this morning...

    Still, have been to T*sco and cleaned out the kitchen today. Now just have to get an assignment done for tomorrow! :o
