    Well done de1amo:T you dark horse! Hope you treat yourself to someting nice from all the extra pennies you're saving.

    11AFDs please Shaggy.

    DH decided to drink my favourite wine tonight (which I must admit I thought was a bit of a cheek, just becasue he'd run out of his usual quaffing stuff) but I didn't even fancy one.

    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.

    We all do it, don't beat yourself up!

    I have made it to my target of 15AF yahhhh
    Its amazing how easy it is when your mind is focused
    Already my friend has tried to persuade me to drink on Friday - can't she be happy I am a free taxi? lol
  • Well yesterday was AF so 1AF day to add please Shaggy. This is the first time I have met my target and there are still 7 days of the month left!
    It is also the first time I have had 9 days AF in a row in about 5 years! I feel so much better for it AND I've lost a couple of pounds in weight (an added bonus).

    14 AF please Shaggy
    Thank you all for your kind words and wishes re our loss. Yes Shaggy too early to be thinking about a replacement, although i did phone up local dog home as i noticed they had a 10 year old, 3 legged choc lab looking for a home. By the time i called he had been taken which is good news for him. I wont be back on here until Sun, planning at least 1 Af day over weekend. Have a good weekend

    Some great results on here!:T

    Hope you're feeling less stressed today gien.

    I've managed 4 days in a row which I haven't done for some weeks so I'm really pleased with myself.

    12 AFDs please Shaggy.
