Hi all
Had a very unplanned weekend - lots of drinking involved unfortunately
I went out to the local on Fri night, I haven't been out at home for ages, so had a good old boogie
Then got persuaded to go to Newmarket on Saturday for the races!
We got a VIP pass, so free food/wine all day
Def an AF today, so think its 13?
I walked 10 miles this morning, thought I had better try to be good lol
Still looking like I'll be back on the dating scene again - not heard from my so called bf for over a week now, but I am refusing to get sad about it
Hope you all have had lovely weekends - cant believe I got a bit burnt today!!

Today has not been AF for me today, nor yesterday. However, I do allow myself to have a drink or two at the weekends.
Can I have a target of 21 AFDs for October, please?
ETA: That is the weekends off, Halloween off and one other day of my choosing.2018 totals:
Savings £11,200
Mortgage Overpayments £5,5000 -
Hmmm, quiet on here today.
It was always going to be a heavy weekend so not beating myself up over it, def need to try for a couple of AF days now though.

If you're ever in a hurry to get to the donkey sanctuary, just tell the taxi driver "donctuary".
He'll know what you mean
(read out loud....) :cool:
Well now theres a name I remember fondly good to "see" you again winebox and some other familiar names too :wave: Now I am cheating here as I doubt you will know me and in fact this is my first postIn a former MSE life I was a regular in this thread - NTC was my handle (and boy do I still need to change) anyway a new computer later and i have lost all sign ins for that name so have had to start again.
Starting again is something i need to do in lots of areas of my life and in particular my drinking. I will do a catch up tale for here later on but right now its Downton Abbey and a glass of wine
Just wanted to chuck my name in the game again as it really helped me last time to take control.
Looking forward to a brighter future already:)0 -
Hello and welcome back Pricey and Baileys!
I have had a super weekend but far too much wine last night so I have been AF today.
Next weekend we have a week's holiday in Marrakesh which I imagine will not be too boozy. I'm going to try for 23 days next month please.Trying to keep in budget.

Onwards and upwards to an AF Monday!!0 -
Morning all,
Welcome to those that have returned over the weekend - I am fairly new on here (about two months now) so it is nice to 'meet' you.
No AF over the weekend but I am aiming for the last one to reach my target tonight - will report back tomorrow
Shaggy, could I please set my target for October at 14.
Have a good day everyone0 -
I'm planning another tonight but I think this a=is a wee bit early to declare yet.;)
Thanks for scoring for us Shaggy, it makes a huge difference to morale.:T:A
I'll have my usual target of 10 for October please.0 -
Afternoon :hello:
1 more AFD.
ShaggyxWhat 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.0 -
Hello everybody! I haven't been here for ages and ages, due to being so busy in RL. Two daughters now back at uni!! My wine consumption has been creeping up, and I definitely need to get back on board with you. Please can I have a target of 28 AFDs for October?
and you're on the list....
