    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.

    PLEASE PUT YOUR TARGET AFDs IN A BOLD RED FONT and good luck! (and if I've made any mistakes, don't be shy, please let me know!)

    EVERYONE WELCOME

  • Hi not having a good week so am bowing out from the SNC this week. I'm hoping that I can manage something this week but not confident so not formally setting a target :(.

    Sorry to hear you're having a bad week caramelcaron. Look after yourself and don't beat yourself up.
  • Really pleased to hear your Mum has finished the chemo Bearacus. Good luck to her and to you for whatever comes next. My friend is currently having chemo and her hair has all gone. I went out with her and 4 other mates on Saturday night, all wearing pink wigs. Everyone thought we were a rather long in the tooth hen night!

    2 so far for this week's SNC please and 2 for my total please Shaggy. That will be 16 afds this month - unheard of.

    Calling in yesterday's totals very late.

    12 AFDs for November and 2 for the SNC please.

    It's strange cheezypeas but I heard a quick tinkle of bells just looking at a picture earlier. It was in a mag with a table all laid up for Christmas dinner and the big glasses of red looked so amazing I could have just reached out and picked one up!

    However I am determined not to have a drink until Friday. I'm trying to stick to a healthy diet this week and that includes no booze until the weekend!


    Hope everyone's having a good day.
  • 10 afds for me please shaggy. Great to hear that your mum has finished her last chemo-I know what a big milestone and relief it was to my mum and family when it finished. She's been clear of cancer 5 years now and is in remission-she hasn't stopped travelling since and is in Spain for a month at the moment!
    HSBC Visa-High interest-£2349.23 Nat West £2605.18
    My Overdraft-£1500
    Barclaycard-1089.77
    Marks and Spencer card- 3331.30 next 92.67
    Total was 11066.29 now £10,968.15
  • Is it better to fail a SNC or change your target? Aaah - decisions, decisions. I went for the full monty this week even though we're going out tonight. I was planning to drive but my DH has just come in and said he's booked a taxi so we can "both enjoy ourselves". He hasn't noticed I'm drinking less ( I know :/ ) at home but will if we're out. I don't want a row on a night out - he gets very upset if I talk about my drinking. Also I feel quite low and REALLY want a drink.
  • Hmmm. Got totally wasted friday & saturday night. Saturday i threw up without realising. :o

    Anyway, start again. 21 Afds so far this month, thanks shaggy.

    Hi Everyone
    Hope you all well

    Had a great weekend in London and i feel i managed to drink moderately for the first time in ages. Combination of London prices and feeling knackered at the end of the long days seemed to help!

    12 Af please Shaggy
    It’s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts
  • AF here again tonight, so up to 16 AFDs in Nov pls Shaggy and 3 for the SNC please Bearacus..........

    Still distracting myself from bells with cleaning and tidying - my house is polished to within an inch of its bricks !
