    shouting in early with 19/24 AFDs and gladly, as two days of imbibing have left me feeling very weary.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    :T that's excellent. I find it especially hard to be AF at a weekend. I know they're days like any other but....:o

    Calling early with 15/20 for tonight. I did drink Friday and Saturday night but not to excess - diluted wine with soda. Having to look back at previous post to get the number of AF days correct. I needed today to be AF to meet my target this month. I was tempted when out for lunch but didn't so won't tonight. I want Sunday evenings to always be AF as it's a school night.

    Started to think about March's target. Don't think it'll be a high one as it's my birthday and we are away for a week too.

    16/22 please Shaggy. Had a non AF weekend but AF tonight.
    Finding it a bit hard though. My rule now is not on a school/work night and I must stick to it!

    Well done everyone.

    As of tonight, please make it 7/14 for me, Shaggy. Sadly, it means I won't hit my target for the month, but I'm going to try to do a good "run-in" to the end of the month.

    Well done to all of you for your brilliant scores!
