    Good morning all!

    No change on scores for me as found a small bottle of lager lurking at the back of the fridge and had that about 10pm last night. Bit stupid really as a waste of an AF day. Had a stressful evening as Fluffy was pecking himself to bits and we didn't know why. The others started to peck him too :( So we seperated him but they all then went nuts wanting to be together!!!:rotfl: So they ended up back in together with me standing guard for a couple of hours till they settled down. All fine today . Odd things!!!!:rotfl:

    Gien - welcome back!! :hello:

    Chocolatecupcake - todays a shiny new day so don't beat yourself up over it. Boxes of wine are the devils work in my opinion!!:rotfl:

    Misslr - commiserations over the car bill :(

    Evilsquid - keep meaning to say, well done on the AF cdays...you sneak in very quietly with your scores!

    Off to Piglets little friends house today. Instead of a birthday party his Mum is having an open house cake afternoon! Sounds a good idea to me :D. As pennance for having a nice time there though I then have to go visit the outlaws...:rotfl::eek:

    Thank you!

    Since being back at home and with DH away at his mums my drinking been in check, my parents frown on the whole having booze on a weekday thing and having drinks on a Friday so every time I think about it or the few days I have I can feel them looking at me and being disappointed.

    Have you got any pictures of the chicks? They sound adorable!!

    Great to see you back gien. As you can see I keep checking in otherwise I know I'd be back to nightly wine very easily. I'm not planning AFness over the weekend, but come Tuesday I'll be back on the wagon. Join me???

    Sure thing Maman, see you there.

    Nice to see Miss P, how are things in your household?

    I think the SNC's a great place to star.

    Oh, just had to come and post on here - my date has cancelled for the second time this week - nearly cried and ran to the shop for wine :(
    All ready to go, kids at my Mums for the night - I believe his reason for not coming, which makes it worse for me - would rather just get a brush off...

    Anyway, sat down for 5 mins and did loads of heavy breathing, got a can of pepsi max and did the ironing....

    How my life has changed, for the better obv, but really feel like I am missing out on the feeling alcohol gives me tonight - the worst I have got to in my journey

    I was going to allow myself a few drinking days, but so close to making it 3 months now - and tbh, I would have got trollied tonight - not sensible in the slightest

    Hope you are all having better weekends than me - maybe I need a chick to look after lol

    Tracy_36 - was just popping in but felt I had to post. Dont feel down about your date. My Mum once told me that if its supposed to happen it will, and you will KNOW it. In my case, very true. After a few confusions, me and OH finally got together for a date and I knew that night he was the one for me!
    In my roundabout way Im saying, everything happens for a reason. Make the most of an unexpected night on your own. Relax, do whatever you enjoy (read a book, have a bath, NOT ironing!!;)) and rearrange that date.

    ((hugs))

    Always helps to have some sort of control...whether it be parents (my Mums very disapproving of drinking too!) husbands, or kids!!

    Have pictures of chicks but am a complete technophobe so have no idea of how to post them !!!

    Shaggy, please increase my target to 29 days, thanks.

    I lost the stop button again last night, resulting in almost two bottles of wine over several hours and I feel appalling today, panic and depression. :mad::mad:So I think I ought to try for total AF for the rest of the month, and hopefully the stop button will come back. :cool:
