    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.

    I am so glad I was nosy about user names and thank you all for sharing!

    Sukey, Stupotstu sorry about all the bad relationship stuff.

    Hello again Ruby, I was here when you were December Baby too!

    I got blottoed on Friday night, and was shockingly hungover on Saturday. I have a bad bruise on my shoulder and more on my legs and am quite lucky to have made it home. It was jagerbombs. Don't do it boys and girls. I did dance the night away at a nightclub too. I went to the pub after a grim week at work, drank 2 large glasses of wine and then lost count after that. Somehow going to a nightclub seemed like a good idea by pub close, and I am way too old for this! Mid 40's should know better. Drank a bit too much Sunday, and alcohol free tonight even though I met friends and spent the evening in the pub.

    Shaggy that's 8/14 for me please.

    Sorry but :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: That made me laugh so hard! We should know better at our age shouldn't we.... but we don't :D

    1 more for me please shaggy, bringing my total to 8/18. To reach my target now would require me to be AF for the rest of the month.... I think we can all safely assume THAT isn't likely to happen with my track record :o So it is just damage limitation from here on in and will just have to do my best for the rest of the month.

    Sorry to all those having rough times in their relationships... After the last two exceptional fools I have had relationships with, I have had enough! I used to have lovely BFs years ago but my judgement is clearly no longer to be trusted ;) Been single for nearly 3 years and no intention of that changing any time soon... Cynical? Moi?!
  • I'm finding it slow going this month. But no alcohol tonight so that makes 4 AF days for me please shaggy
    As of 24th August 2016 total money owed was

    12/20 for tonight please. I'm finding SNC easy but it's the weekends. Out with the girls on Friday so will definitely drink then. Need to have an AF day either Saturday or Sunday to make my target this month. Maybe I'll do both :A

    More than happy to change your target if you want?

    Yes please Shaggy I think I would like to change the target to 21 AF for the month thanks (21 means I have another drinking night to look forward to, but I get three smileys at the end of the month instead of 2 for 20 - how sad is that?)

    Calling in 12 AF for tonight.

    AF tonight so 14 for me please Shaggy.
    Sorry to hear about your Dad too.

    Hi WBF I remember you too. That sounds like the kind of night you don't want to repeat too often.

    Night all.
