    Oh how rude of me I meant to say well done everyone and Crazymum your post made me cry a bit. I have similar tales from when my eldest was a baby. Make me cringe now.
    Also what is the T/F on the challenge score after my score, please???

    I think it stands for 'target free', as in you dont have a particular target of AF days to aim for.
  • Good going guys, well done.

    Early night for me, up at 5! Sleep well everyone xx

    Well done Iris on the cutting down on booze AND ciggies :T:T what an achievement

    Sorry to hear that you are down FPTree, chin up and dont let the b*******'s get you down.

    Loving reading about all the friendships blossoming on here and the mutual support is so touching, well done guys :T:T I like 365's last entry to the list, baking, thats what i enjoy most in the eve if im not too tired, or go on the internet and daydream about places i would like to visit one day

    Im planning to be AF either on Fri or Sat this wkend and definately on Sun but will see how the weekend goes. Even though just a short week at work this week, im so glad its Fri tmoro.

    4AF please Shaggy and 4 for the SNC


    Loads of deep stuff on here, CrazyMum your honesty is inspiring to read. FPT well done on the squash, it was really interesting catching up on everyone this evening.

    Well done to Idris too!

    I felt a bit more clear headed today. Had some cheese but no wine and feeling pleased with this week so far.

    I will probably be out of touch until Monday evening but would like to join in next week's snc please. I am still thinking about whether to drink or not the next 3 days.

    Sleep well everyone.

    I'm getting to the ridiculous point where I'm looking forward to waking up and feeling good :D

    That's not ridiculous crazymum, it's one of the (many) plus points of being AF.;)

    Well done for forward planning wbf:T

    Sorry to hear the news about your so-called friend fpt, at least you didn't use alcohol to cope with it.

    I'm trying to maintain my weight after losing and experimenting with how to introduce a few more calories but not too many. I'm delighted to say that I haven't entertained having extra drinks as a remote possibility. AF days are here to stay!!

    4 AFDs for January and the full monty completed for the SNC!:j Thanks both.
  • another AFD for me please Shaggy!

    I've left DH in the living room with his booze and top gear magazine. he seems quite happy. contented myself with 2 massive glasses of squash and a highlights :j
  • I was just going to quickly report 2 off my target please Shaggy so I'm now on 16 but I have read through the posts for the last couple of days and I just need to say that crazymum's posts have made me nod and cry. We need this thread and we need each other.
    Thank you all XX
