    Good morning all

    Glad the bells were quiet for you Maman.

    I was sorely tempted last night. I drove all the way to the swimming pool last night at 8pm, only to find the car park and all surrounding roads were chocka block as there was a football tournament on in the adjacent sports field. Couldn't park anywhere so drove home - tempted to stop off in shop for wine as was feeling grumpy but resisted the urge...mainly because I had no calories left for it!!:rotfl:

    Good morning! I have been away for a few days with OH, am up to 6 days AF for July

    It looks like I will be on antibiotics for a week or so from today so I will be off the booze (not that I feel like drinking anyway)

    Off to catch up on the thread

    And another for me!

    Without getting too complacent I'm fine with not drinking during the week (unless I've planned for something special) these days. I get the odd tinkle of bells if I'm in the wine aisle or pass a bar with people enjoyng a drink outside but I soon shut them up. And as I normally shop at weekends and its too b cold to sit outside a bar, it doesn't happen much!:rotfl:

    10 AF for July please Shaggy and 3 for the SNC thanks Bearacus.
