    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.

    Congratulations to your daughter Pricey, that's brilliant! :j

    I've got 3 weeks until my due date and I will let you know of any developments. No false alarms so far.
    Baby can't arrive yet as I haven't washed any of the clothes or the bedding. I'm waiting for MrR to get out of bed so I can get started on it. He's just been moaning about the "noise" - aka people getting up and getting on with their lives at 10:30 in the morning. Miserable old git! :D

    Hope the sun is shining wherever you are!!

    Hello, I'm back and if it is not too late, please can I join in the AF challenge? I had a small glass of wine with Mum at lunchtime so will be starting tomorrow.

    I am going for 14 days AF in July please Shaggy

    I have realised that alcohol is controlling me and my behaviour is counter productive, I need to concentrate on my relationship, friends and health. My boyfriend has been shortlisted for the job he interviewed for on Thursday :jso hopefully we will have something to celebrate next week... I'll have a big diet coke and some chocolate :A

    Hope you are all having good weekends

    June :-

    WBF 6/25

    Hi Shaggy, I managed one whole more day last month, so 7/25 for me.

    Please could I have a target of 15 for July, based on not drinking on school nights again.

    1 afd for July, please, Shaggy. And I'd like to add my huge, huge thanks to you for running our thread.

    Moved DD1 from halls of res into her new uni accommodation yesterday for 2nd year. I took my D*son because I was expecting to give it a vac around - but 4 hours later I was still cleaning!!:mad: :eek:My compensation is those brilliant results for the first year :T

    Hope everybody is having a lovely Sunday :)

    PS I wonder if Liam and Sara are indeed on this thread? Just in case you wondered, I'm not a celeb in disguise ;)

    Hello everyone. Welcome prettykitty to the thread. I stayed alcohol free on Thursday and had a great night-went to a pub night on Friday and stayed af also and was told that people think I'm pregnant-could be because of my paunch I guess! I finished June on 11 afds which exceeded my target. I'm going to set my target for July for 22 days. I can report 3 afds already for July and please can I have 4 for the SNC please bearacus. I'm really hoping to lose weight again this week-I've just eaten 5 chewits and 2 tablespoons of golden syrup though this evening in a sudden craving for sugar!
