Afternoon :hello:
2 more AFDs for Monday & Tuesday.
ShaggyxWhat 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.0 -

Don't hesitate to let me know if I've made a mistake!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.0 -
12/20 for tonight please.0

Good luck with the work entertaining Karen! My DH's company have banned alcohol at corporate events. Customers can buy their own, but what's on offer is always AF. I think this is because they've had several bad experiences of having to handle drunk blokes in posh places :eek:
Still on 19/24 Shaggy - thank you x
What a great idea and not only does it promote better behaviour but productivity must increase on the next day too. Must be hard to have to work all day and then have to mingle and socialise with work in the evenings too. I guess it can intrude on family life and personal time. I hope it goes ok for you Karen.
Another AF day for me. Rather pleased as this week is so busy. Off to an open evening at the secondary school tonight. The kids are very excited. The AF wine is sitting in the fridge, i'm not tempted, but I will have some on Friday in addition to half a bottle of wine. I'm hoping to make the bottle last over Friday and Saturday and that's my limit for the week. Keeps me under 14 units. I am aware though its above the 3 units recommended per day. Its hard to have open wine in the fridge though. It needs to go so I can forget about it and I don't want to waste a third day on a small glass to finish it up.
Hmm

Your numbers are looking brilliant, Dizzy. Many happy returns of the day and I hope the merlot is thoroughly enjoyable. You've more than earned it.This month is proving a struggle to get to target.
My choice was is to drink midweek at home (except for special occasions like birthdays). Unfortunately (or fortunately:)) this month is full of occasions. Maybe next month I won't go anywhere;). Even if I don't reach 10, I'm mindful of my drinking which is what matters.
As you say, Maman, it's mindful drinking now, as opposed to sloshing it back. I hope you're having a lovely time celebrating everything.
22/31 please, Shaggy.Better is good enough.0 -
2 more AFDs for me for Tue/Wed. I had a major failure on Monday though.
