Managed to climb back on the wagon last night too, 11 AFD please. x
I'll go for the full monty too please Bearacus. x0 -
13 AFD's please, Shaggy!
Thanks for the info, CaramelCaron - I love hearing about other peoples' lives and experiences especially with children of similar ages to mine.
All so far so good here.
But I haven't had time to do my Christmas shopping yet, so hearing about people wrapping presents makes me panic a bit! I must finish a load of work before I can stop for a few days.
Have a good week everybody x0 -
I'm giving the SNC a miss this week Bearacus. It's not that I intend to drink every day but I want to have the option of a festive glass or two if I feel like it without feeling guilty.0

Evening,
Not posted at the weekend mums not to well and have moved in with her early(was going for xmas anyway) internet connection not good( lives in the middle of nowhere).
Have managed 2 more AF Days Shaggy. Don't know when I will post again hopefully going on holiday on the 27th of december hopeing mums well enough to come with us or we wont be going without her (lost my dad in July so dont want to leave her on her own)
So im going to wish you all a very happy christmas and a great new year and a big thankyou for all the support you have given me this year:T:T:T0 -
Have been absent for the last week and no more AFDs to report. Had my works do on Friday, which got quite messy, and resulted in me being given a lift home by the local bobby. Not too bad, he just wanted to make sure I got home ok. Went to a wedding on Sat and had a few there, no hangover yesterday though. Went round a friends house yesterday and had a few more whilst watching the football in 3D.
Im off work now until the 28th, but I am planning on having a few AFDs while I am off. Not planning on having a drink tonight (DH has already cracked open the rose when he got home). I really need to get DS off to bed so I can get some presents wrapped.
Not signing up for the SNC this week though, as I am definately off out tomorrow, and not sure what the plans are for the rest of this week.LBM Dec 10. Total unsecured debt £41176 :eek: Nov 12 Debt Free Thanks Mum x RIP x

Hi all :j
Only one and a half work days until I'm off for the holidays. Can't wait to stop rushing around so much. Going to the panto in the city on Friday and plan to spend Christmas Eve watching Christmassy films with the kids. That's if they behave and are allowed TV by then! Have had to resort to banning tv and the computer because of their behaviour. To be honest, I think it's just all the excitement of the upcoming week. But I've been at the end of my tether with them. I thought my head was going to explode :mad:
I'm af tonight. But I don't think I'll sign up for the challenge. Just like Maman, I may or may notNeed to start again0 -
Could I sign up for 2 Alcohol Free days please. I've only managed one this month, and feel sluggish, and my weight has ballooned.0

I am new to all this.
I started my own thread here (apparently I cant link to it, oops)
Put a long story short (prob read the other thread to get a good idea). I am overweight and drink too much. After a really heavy xmas party I have decided to quit drinking. I could regularly drink 4 litres of cider a night. (bit less lately) but more on the weekends.
Couldnt face it on sat night and chose not to last night.
I am counting today as day 1 for me.
(btw.... what is all this "2AF for me pls"... or "10 for me"?)
I am new here. I apologise.0
