    9/29 AFDs, which means I won't make my target this month
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    8/29 AFD

    3/5 SNC

    Pleased with this, will not make my 29 target but determined on the SNC. Such a massive improvement on my normal intake. xx

    After a horrible day, I got home and had a tizer and vodka (desperate times call for desperate measures). Suppose it is better than rushing out to the shop for a bottle (or two) of wine.
    Still, 9/11 AFD!

    Could someone please send the wagon my way.

    I had to do some after work sopping yesterday as I'm not getting time for lunchbreaks. As always with after work shopping I boght myself a treat aka a bottle of red :mad:

    So I have flopped the SNC this week and I'm going to be at least 10% under target for this months challenge.

    Hey Ho - onward and downward

    Joanne

    No, no, no!! Onward and upward!! You haven't flopped the SNC you're just going to come in one down on your original plan. Please don't let it stop you having some AF nights this week.

    I had a planned night drinking tonight (out with friends at a carvery) but back on the wagon tomorrow. Remember every AF night counts.

    41, I was awol over the weekend and may have missed something but I was wondering whether you planned to drink when you went to the caravan? Ignore my question if you want (I know I'm nosey:o) but it's just been bothering me whether you're OH put pressure on you. Hope you're getting sorted with the money issues.

    I can hear it but I can't see it - where is that wagon?

    I am so determined I've done tomorrows shopping tonight and am leaving the purse at home tomorrow.

    Anyway, why do I do the midweek shopping when DH is at home all day and Taxco is but 250 metres from our front door?

    As of tomorrow I leave the purse at home and do not slide into the shops on the way home from work.
    My 1.5 mile drive home from work takes me past M&S, Murrisuns, Taxco Metro and Taxco Xpress. Temptation every 300 yards :cool::cool:

    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.
