    Great to have you back Shaggy and thanks for my target smiley.


    I think 7 is all I'll manage for June as I'm away from 14th and don't get back until July.


    Maybe make me TF and I'll just do my best.:)

    Welcome back Shaggy - glad you had lovely holibobs. I think you did rather well on the weight-gain front. I know all inclusive means I literally stuff my chops all day long!

    Resisted the offer of cider at DH's cousin's BBQ yesterday, so 21/28 for me please x

    Survived and Triumphed the entire Bank Holiday without any alcohol, despite occasion to do so, taking me to 23/31 AF for the month including tonight where I know I won't drink.

    Welcome back from holiday Shaggy. 4 lbs is nothing!

    May I set a target of 28/30 AF please for June.

    Have a great day everyone. Pouring it down here.

    Feeling sorry for myself this morning. I chose not to be AF yesterday and now I've got a headache. I'm telling myself it's because of my head cold but it's too reminiscent of a hangover for me to be sure.:o
    Definitely no drinking today so I'll add a bonus day to my total.


    11 AFDs please Shaggy.

    Hello everyone,


    Drank soooo much whilst on hollibobs, I can't even begin to count the amount:o. Needless to say it involved wine, cava, gin and beer. I was very tired yesterday, so I went to bed at 7 and didn't wake up until 7 so I can claim last night as another AFD and I'm calling early for tonight too:D.


    Target for June, going to aim for 20 please Shaggy.


    Hope you have had a lovely holiday I had a weight gain too, so back on the SW wagon again!

    Welcome back, Shaggy. That doesn't sound too serious a gain for a holibob full of English breakfasts. I hope you had a lovely, lovely time.

    Healing vibes for everyone who woke up with a hangover over the bank holiday weekend.

    Fantastic numbers, ManPants.

    *ouch* Particularly strong healing vibes for you, Maman because I know you're out of practice at the hangover lark.

    We're off on our holibobs tomorrow, so I'll see you all in about 10 days time.

    31/31 for May please, Shaggy, and 30 for June. Thank you!
    Better is good enough.

    I haven't been on this thread for donkeys years.

    However, I also haven't touched a drop since last July. I woke up one morning saying 'I'll never drink again' and meant it.

    I'm not saying I literally never will, but I'm pretty proud of myself.

    I hope you're all doing well as well. I hope that my success is helpful rather than seen as 'that b*****d gloating'.
    Can we just take it as read I didn't mean to offend you?
