    I've jumped briefly back on the wagon tonight. Life is very 'social' at the moment but I'm sticking with my good habits, having a few glasses here and there and generally and being very sensible.

    6AFDs for March please.

    Good luck to everyone. It's not easy to be AF but so worth it Every single day counts!

    Morning all!!!
    9 AF so far ...i think it may be tenjust tried counting up, but to honest, were as it used to be a massive deal not having a drink at night I now find myself having to focus on having one rather than the other way round getting into the habit of not bothering :T
    Plus point is that I've been waiting to get on the bank staff for ages for a children's ward, finally they let me do a bank shift on tuesday and approved me to go on the bank, anyway tucked up in bed at 9.30 last night and the !!!!!!s phoned me to see if i could work today and she could tell she'd woke me up.. a few months ago I would have been sloshed and would have been slurring down the phone and would have blown it!!! :o

    15 AF now for me please Shaggy x

    I had lent my Allen Carr book to someone at work, I stole it back yesterday, think I may need a reread this weekend as I don't have the kids here - used to mean a messy weekend - gawd, I feel old!

    Hope everyone has a good weekend, rain predicted here all weekend :(

    Hi All!!!

    MissP - That's my exact reason for not drinking. If BabyR wakes on the night I'm always worried I wouldn't wake up.
    Interested in what you said about sneezing and being bunged up. MrR is always moaning about being bunged up and "having a cold". I always suspected it was related to wine but chose not to mention it.

    Crazymum - Sending you ((hugs)). It's not easy. I've learnt to zone-out, especially when he's talking. I know exactly what you mean by slurring and repitition Missrlr.

    Cleggie - Hope you're getting on well with your dissertation.

    Shaggy - Awesome pics today!! :)

    Right, off to wake the sleepy baby so she can have some lunch.

    MrsR xx
