  • Morning everyone,

    I have added another 2 over the last two days so that's 7/10 for me please Shaggy. I'd like 10 again for November please.

    Good luck OpenScreen, hope AA is helpful.
    Tracy, hope the date was good fun!? Chocolate cupcake well done on exceeding your target - yay!

    Morning, this months been a bit stressful so have only managed 6 afds in total. Drank a bottle of white wine yesterday (12%), and nearly a bottle of cream liquor the day before (17%). Sorry for not posting, but it was embarrassing to admit. I have now though.

    I'm going to try to have a healthier November with at least a couple of days free each week. Could you put me down for 8 for November please Shaggy, thanks.

    Hi everyone
    On way home i was thinking i would really like a glass of wine this eve, but as i thought it was the start of the month, i decided i better not have a drink on the 1st night as i like to get a couple of AF days under my belt. I was just about to post 1 AF for Nov and just read all your posts and realised that its still Oct:eek: so 17 AF please Shaggy!!
    Some great targets been met this month, well done everyone:T:T

    In an attempt to help me and anyone else to have a positive November in the lead up to :santa2: As of next week im happy to run the School Night Challenge for the month of November. I will do the usual 'roll up roll up ' call on Sunday so if anyone interested in joining me you can let me know
    It’s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts

    Thanks for the kind SNC offer mackeroo. I'll give it some thought over the weekend.

    I, too, was fancying a drink tonight. The downside of setting a low target is that when/if I acheive it it's easy to think I've got spare days to drink.:o I got as far as putting a bottle in the fridge for later.

    But I thought of this little guy dance2.gifand decided I didn't need a drink.

    14 AFDs for November please Shaggy.

    I'm out socialising tomorrow so won't be starting next month until Monday. Have a good weekend all, soon be Friday.:)

    Morning :hello:

    1 more AFD - but strangley I did struggle a little last night too - round about 8ish - sort of lasted until 10 - but I managed to ignore the pesky bells and added one more. It is funny how those bells creep up on you though, when you least expect it as well.
