    19/26 for last night please! As we are not going out tomorrow night am hoping I can avoid it, though we might go for lunch sat - will have to convince the boy to go somewhere that doesn't do booze!
    I want to be a writer

    Well I have been totally rubbish this month and the reasons, whilst sometimes valid, are really just excuses. I hope to get the last few days AF but very sadly won't make 1 smiley.

    I need to press the reset button for March so please put me down for 15 thank you Shaggy. I do keep reading which is helpful and reminds me what I am supposed to be doing.

    9/15 for Tue and Wed nights please Shaggy. If I am good and stick to Mon-Thur AF I should make 12/15 which is not even half the month. Whether this is an unintended reaction to making Dry Jan or not I don't know.


    I'd like to set a target for March of 16 please Shaggy - just over half the month
    What goes around comes around.....I hope!

    17 please, Shaggy, taYet another one who won't make target this month, and AD's have involved too many units too. Lots and lots going on in RL at the moment, although I know that is not really an excuse. Things starting to calm down a bit now.

    Have a great Thursday, everybody, despite Doris raging around the country!

    I don't think people should feel bad - every AF day is a victory basically, whatever the targets people set for themselves.


    Well said Cathy!:T


    No drinking here today.


    11 AFDs please Shaggy.
