    The dryathlon has begun :) I feel shocking today, not hungover but really sick and weak, just forced some scrambled eggs and a cup of tea down so today is NO problem.

    31 AF days in Jan, bring it on!

    The dyathalon is an event for cancer research. I dont have the link but you can google it. It's my cover story for now and hopefully raise some money for charity. You sign up for the whole of Jan but no one is going to check as it were, I just wanted to stop drinking without everyone asking why X
    You can sign up til the 6 Jan x

    No problem at all. Just doing what others did for me way back when. Just think, in time you may be doing it for someone else and so it continues.......good karma.:)

    1 AF please Shaggy

    Managed a total of 20/10 AF in December, as NYE was AF. Served lime and soda in my biggest wine glasses, which looked incredibly like white wine. So much so that my DH thought I had poured half a bottle into each... until he tasted it. It worked so well for me, that I may use that each Saturday.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    1 AFD here too. Didn't sleep at all last night but feeling surprisingly fine this morning. My trigger time is after DH & DS go to bed and I get bored. Last night I read through the beginning of the thread when I used to post and it saw me through the boredom.
