Can I put in 12 AF a bit early as I won't drink due to driving soon.
It's a badminton match tonight for the club I play for, we're fighting to not come bottom in the league!!!

Hi Tiller Girl

Welcome! Sorry for not saying hellooo, I think I was so tired I didn't read properly! I hope you get what you want; a house by the sea sounds lovely so good luck with your alcohol-free endeavours.

Shaggy, thanks for the article on sleep, I found it really interesting. So I guess that explains why I want to go to sleep about 7pm at the moment! I slept a lot better last night, all the way through the night. I still feel tired today.

I've noticed my skin is very dry, especially on my calves and lower legs. I don't know if it's related to drinking or just the cold weather. I'm using moisturiser but it doesn't appear to be working yet.

So that's another one for me please Shaggy, 9/14. I have my work do tomorrow and plan to have my next AFD on Monday. I will check in between now and then.

Good night everyone.

Just want to say everyone have a great weekend, just off to the Lake District until Sunday night and will sign in when I get back.

Thursday I reached 9/15, and today can I call in really early to declare double figures of 10/15 AFDs. I'm travelling all day and working this evening, not finishing until 11pm, then another half hour drive but won't be able to post.


It's just possible that I'll have an AF weekend as I have to drive each evening. Me and DH are "up North" to visit my family, combined with two evening's of volunteer activity from me. The volunteering means I get to have a long weekend with family. DH rarely comes with me on family visits (this is his first one in 2013), but he seems to be looking forward to it this time.

Munchin

Hi all

I had 3/4 of a bottle of wine last night and I feel terrible for it today:o. However on the positive side it's reinforced why I'm cutting down my drinking and I will have AFDs tonight and tomorrow (Xmas party).

Morning all,

I managed my AF Thursday so that makes 7/10 for me please Shaggy.

Hope you all have a great weekend

Good morning, good morning, good morning

I did it!! I did it!! I did it!! I stayed AF last night.

I feel amazing this morning and totally able to concentrate in work from the minute I got in.

Last night I was preparing for the party weekend ahead as only us girlies can and was up to nearly 2am fixing false nails etc AND didnt have anything other than apple juice and soda water in a wine glass :j:j:j:j It was that voice saying dont drink alone resounding in my ears prevented me from reaching into the fridge to sneak a glass of DD's open bottle of wine.

I just love you lot thank you for being here!!

Shaggy I can call in
9/9
:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

My goal for Friday and Saturday night is to stay in control of how much wine I consume and then Sunday evening im starting again until xmas eve (that will be another 9 AF nights)

Every have a fantastic weekend whatever you are getting up to :j

**Stay Excellent, Stay AF**
