    No, not stupid at all.:)

    We used to have a mini target on here each week called the School Night Challenge (SNC). We don't do it formally any more but it helps me (and others I think;)) who are cutting-down to be AF on school nights. For some that's Monday to Friday and others count Sunday too but I like a drink with my roast too much.

    I did have a drink last night, just the one though. :) I'm going to declare 5/14 very early this evening as I've ate my dinner and not had a drink to accompany it. Nothing sadder than sitting in your house alone, drinking.

    ETA: Did not give in. :)

    Sorry I haven't logged on since last week, there doesn't seem to be much spare time at the mo. 6/15 AFDs for me now.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?
  • Evenin' all. checking in to say 6/14 AFDs as of this evening. Good night everyone.
  • 9 AF days so far please Shaggy.

    Just enjoyed my glass of alcohol free wine. Tastes much like the apple juice and soda mix, I would imagine.
