Morning
Love that song Shaggy! ... it is playing as I type... "dressed up to the eyes it's a wonderful surprise.."
:whistle: Going to play it again! Always puts me in the best of moods..
Finished on 11 for June and looking forward to doing much better in July.
All the best everyone and here's to achieving great things in July.

Morning All!
After a very busy 3 days I'm finally back to catch up, and i've missed so much!!
Welcome to the newbies.
Posie Flump - it's good that you've started to post rather than just lurk. Really hope you exceed you July target.
Sending hugs to Prettykitty. You'll see from my previous posts that i'm not a drinker, but MrR turns to the bottle at every hurdle (he took a swig out of a bottle of red wine at 11:30am yesterday. Although he did miss his mouth and half of it went up his nose :rotfl:) Unfortunately any problem is still there even after you've tried to drown it. Just try to deal with each thing calmly and soberly. Fingers crossed that your BF finds a job soon.
May2013 - Your target is not pathetic. You're just being realistic and honest.
Good to hear you sounding so positive lala. All your hard work is really paying off.
Mackeroo - Have fun camping. Last time I went camping it rained so hard it was coming through the tent :rotfl:
I can't believe we're in July already!! Next time I go awol from the board it'll be because Little Bean has made an appearence :eek:
Happy Friday everyone!!

23 for June, please, Shaggy. Missed my target, but at least the units were down from May.
Target of 25 (again!!) for July, please.
DD1 just done brilliantly in her 1st year uni exams, I'm so pleased - some of you will know that she is somewhat 'challenging' :eek:... perhaps I can put this down to her genius :rotfl:0 -
Great news about your daughter Pricey. She must have her mother's genius!;)
Mrs R, we'll hold you to that about not going AWOL! Do try to let us know when anything happens, even if it's a false alarm. How long to go now?
Must congratulate Shaggy on your 28 days. You're so busy doing our scores that sometimes your own just creep up unnoticed. Well done!:T0 -
Wow...I've only been away for a couple of days but it looks like I've missed loads.
Welcome Prettykitty glad to see that you were feeling more positive yesterday evening.....my advice would be to just get that first AF day under your belt, the feeling of achievement the following morning is immense and may help push you on to try another...and another. The people on this thread and the support they give is just amazing...dip in and out as you need to, there will always be someone to give some words of encouragement.
Mrsr - not long now...I remember the last weeks of my pregnancies so vividly...I just kept getting more excited as due date got closer...please please keep us updated with how your getting on.
Well I've been away on a very boozy team meeting...and I didn't drink a drop...so I'm declaring 18 AFD's for June please Shaggy and the full 4 for the SNC please bearacus.
A massive well done to you all on your successes in June and lots of positives vibes for lots of AFness in July.

Not been in here for a while but I haven't been drinking so that's good.
We're going away tomorrow and I won't have much access to the internet for the next 6 weeks or so. So I shall be aiming to be drinking only a little bit, sticking to the SNC even though I won't be able to post much. Have a good summer peepsTrying to keep in budget.

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.0
