    Good evening everyone,


    Reporting in late today, didn't drink last night so 3 AFD please Shaggy. However have already had two beers and 2 gins (so far). Went for a really long bike ride along the tow path and everyone appeared to be quaffing something alcoholic, including those navigating their canal boats....so as soon as I came home that was it out in the garden with a cold beer, doesn't take a lot to be persuaded when the sun is out. Not sure I get that, but hey hoy!

    Morning All

    I am up happy & clear headed. Sounds like you had a nice day Arkers 😎 and if you have the elusive stop button and discipline why shouldn't you have a little treat day whilst the sun shines.

    Off to the gym to beef and tone up for Saturday's wedding of the year. Strictly back on no carbs as well. That normally really helps me with not drinking too. Have new suit and 6 weeks ago I confidently purchased a 30" waist with the trousers. Whilst I can button them and zip up (always nice for a church wedding), it feels snug so that is another reason not to drink.

    Calling in 3/29 AF. Hope that any of you who are struggling today find the resolve to get through. It's a beautiful day here plus it's a Monday so it already feels like there are lots of excuses piling up.

    Anyone else read that the first time around to mean that not doing the zip up might be acceptable somewhere else? No? Just me then. Have fun with the zippity doo dah, MPs.

    4/31 please, Shaggy.
    Better is good enough.

    Good morning everyone,

    4 AFD please Shaggy.
    Off to the sun for a few days with my mum, so may not report in much. Will be having a few, but shouldn't be too bad.


    Take care, and have a good week.
