    Ok, decision made for today! Dad just popped round - he'd bought me and Mum each a copy of the Hello Magazine Royal Souvenier issue and just dropped it in with a bar of choccy and a diddy bottle of wine! Have been instructed to sit, read and enjoy whilst OH out with Piglet (at Dragon-in-laws!)

    So I'm as happy as a pig in the proverbial (as I'm an ardent royalist!:o). Will stick at the one diddy bottle though as don't want to be asleep by 6pm!

    7AFDs for me please, Shaggy.

    Wasn't AF last night, which means I have used 1 of my 2 'lives' for May as I have a target of 29AFDs. But I'm still confident....

    Keep with it and good luck.
    Where alcohol was concerned, I used to change my targets to suit my drinking. For example, if I wasn't going to drink for a month, that quickly turned into a week, etc...
    'Normal' people change their drinking to achieve their targets, I changed my targets to satisfy my drinking....
