  • Good Morning All!

    Well done everyone who stuck to their school night pledges, you're all doing great! :T

    And LaLa, you stick to your guns - you are doing brilliantly! I'm sure sometimes people question when others don't drink because they actually feel guilty about drinking themselves - hope that makes sense! It's YOUR body and YOUR choice! Have a lovely weekend LaLa and I hope you enjoy the match :D

    TooMany was not a good girl again last night I'm afraid.... :( not REALLY bad, but definitely not AF (2 small glasses of vino). As Bearacus said though, I'm not going to feel bad about failing - on this occassion it was a choice to have wine with my meal last night as I will not be having wine tonight (even I find it difficult to justify with egg and chips!!!).

    Oh now I've written that down it sounds utterly pathetic!!! :o

    Anyway.... have a fabulous weekend everybody, and keep up the good work! I'm going to be trying my hardest to earn my green leapy thing this weekend... we'll see! :cool: (OH does NOT make it easy!).

    TooMany xx

    Hi Bearacus

    Please count me in - I'll have my own special 'can TooMany do better than 2 out of 4 on the school night challenge' going on behind the scenes :rotfl:

    Need to do better than this week if I am going to manage this months AFD target of 15!

    PS Egg and Chips - oh yes! I'd not had egg and chips for years, had it about 6 weeks ago and it has now become a regular weekly thing! Yum Yum :p

    Was AF last night so 3 in the end for the challenge. I'll join in again next week for sure. This weekend is a quiet one at home before the holidays so I don't know whether I'll be drinking or not.
    Trying to keep in budget.

    Good afternoon all!

    Bearacus - would I be able to join the Mon-Thu challenge please?

    OH's just left to take StepD home and pick up StepS. So tempting to wander up the shops for a bottle of wine but am sitting firm at the moment!:(

    Hi - not been on here for a while as been on holiday. Managed to stay AF for 5 of the 7 nights. One of the nights I did have a little drinky was my 30th Birthday. So so far since I've started doing this I've done 10AF out of a possible 12 woop woop!
