    another one for me please :)
  • Unfortunately I was seduced by the wine fairy last night and downed a bottle of rose all to myself!
    Looks like it will be an alcohol free weekend for me if I want to achieve my target. Ooops!

    Hello!

    SNC Achieved!

    4 AF days!

    That was week 1!

    Having a vodka & tonic with loads of ice plus lime tonight! So far I have sipped it instead of guzzling it down and when Other half went to shop and asked if he should get wine I said "No!"

    Thanks guys in the SNC - you really, really helped me! I'll be back next week for more!

    Good morning all

    18 please shaggy (i think, I keep losing track!)

    To be honest, Im amazed I've stayed AF this week. I've spent a lot of my time with my best friend this week as she has been very poorly. It was decided yesterday that she needs to go undergo major surgery as she has a large tumour. We are all incredibly worried but trying to remain positive for my friends sake. She is very close to me and my family so we are all very concerned for her.

    Soooo...the temptation to buy a bottle of wine yesterday was huge. But I also felt very tired so decided against it. Am glad I did as I think it probably would have made me overemotional.:(

    And is this year EVER going to improve?????:undecided

    Still, Hoppsy is providing lots of entertainment:rotfl:, mainly when I'm trying to get him back in the cage. Boy, can rabbits run fast!!!:rotfl: And it looks like I have four viable eggs so I should have chicks by wednesday of next week, fingers crossed!!!

    Morning :hello:

    Had an AF Friday yesterday. Haven't had one of these for awhile. I knew I would do it as I couldn't face making my hay fever bad again, and OH was on a boys night out last night so I just lay on my sofa and watched TV. Ahhhh bliss.

    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.
