Good morning everyone,
4 AFD please Shaggy.
Off to the land of cream tea and other delights for a week so I will probably drink more often then not, however this time in moderation.

In theory, that's what I do too loveasale but what's 'special' has extended a bit.


When I worked full time I rarely had time to socialise midweek. Instead I'd drink at home every night as my reward after a long day. Hence drinking getting out of hand. Now I've stopped drinking at home midweek but I do have time (and invitations) to go out midweek so I do. I suppose in theory I should have AFDs at weekends if I stay at home to balance it but I tell myself (and it's true) that I now drink far less on nights out so I'm happy.


I didn't drink last night but sorely tempted. In the city centre, happy football fans everywhere but I forced myself to come home and have a cup of tea. Not sure about tonight as holiday is calling and I'm having to be very disciplined. Although we're not away until the weekend I'll be out each evening except Thursday.


3 AFDs please Shaggy.


Hopefully will be able to add tonight to that;).
