    I'm going to have an early night tonight I think. Feeling very tired today after drinking yesterday.
    Trying to keep in budget.

  • 10/15 please shaggy

    Really wanted to drink tonight after arriving in my gorgeous seaside hotel for a few nights to perfect blue sky and really warm (for the time of year anyway) cue my trigger, sit outside watching the tide with a glass of wine. No excuse I'm afraid its a work trip. Got over that one OK then went for dinner and asked for a Becks Blue. Barman brings me over a Peroni blue which is not alcohol free :mad: now the logical side of me says one beer would have been fine but the MSE crazed woman side of me says no its a school night and it would be a AF fail so the peroni went back and a becks blue arrived :o

    Life is designed to tempt me at the moment :rotfl:
    So tonight its Life 0/Me 1 :D
  • 11 please, Shaggy, thanks

    I hope those who are having a hard time at the moment are feeling better. :)

    I have had a nightmare over the past few weeks due to the most unpleasant person I have ever met, can't go into details here, but DH has been very supportive, so one good thing has come out of it all :T

    10/16 for me

    Slight failure tonight as I had a couple of glasses of wine at a works do. I was trying not to but the event was boring and the wine was free.

    I'm going to London for the weekend so that will be a write-off but I'm still on target for the end of the month.
  • A much needed AFD again here so that's 9/14 please Shaggy. Half an Alex ain't bad!!

    Baileys, that sounds sooo nice - well done for resisting!

    So tired, but glad to be reading on here and hearing how people are doing. Green Karen you made me laugh about your choice of target. I used to miss mine until I worked out 14 means I get two smileys to aim for and for some reason that's doing the trick.

    G'night all.

    PS Fruball, glad you got a laugh too - I am glad I fessed up - feels better to.
