    I make it 7/18 for this evening. Funnily enough, I've not wanted a drink tonight in the slightest, always a bonus when I have nights like this.

    I had the odd twinge tonight. Saw people drinking on TV and thought it might be nice to join them! But I didn't.;) Strangely, when I started I used to find that very difficult indeed.

    5 AFDs please Shaggy.

    Unfortunately, I shared a bottle of wine with my wife this evening over dinner.
