I would have racked up more AFD's this week, but I have a horrible cold and sore throat. My friend said rum and ribena was good for sore throats but I ended up having a couple of hot toddies (2 units in total). Didnt make a blind bit of difference

Ive been on a cocktail of ibuprofen, asprin, paracetamol since Tuesday. I took one of those manflu shots that I got in poundworld (very nice it was too) and Ive been dosing myself up with the generic berocca I buy from poundworld (which is probably too little too late)

Just needs to run its course. Havent taught classes unwell in a long time but managed through kettles and FBX last night and if I can drag my sorry !!! out Im going to do a metafit and les mills double header as a participant this morning.

Odd that Im drinking de alcoholised wine, because apart from the wine my brother bought me for my birthday, Ive not had wine in a long time, I cant tolerate it anymore.

Aiming for another AFD today, might buy myself another bottle of the wine with no alcohol in it for later on.

Am struggling with soft drink alternatives. I had found a raspberry and mint cordial, but it had so much sugar in it I gave it up.

Probably sparkling water is my best bet.

Thanks to Sukey, gwithbag and SPS for your best wishes. All going OK at moment, Uncle done well with surgery apart from bad reaction to morphine, resulting in an incident where security were called to the ward! Poor thing.

Well done Shaggy on the weight loss. You've done great.

Calling in early with 18 AF for tonight.

Barny1979

Calling early for tonight, 19/26 AFDs today

Hugs Green Karen, well done Alex and Shaggy & Pricey and everyone.

I'm on 8/14 now, after a AF Wednesday and then a bottle of wine last night and then AF tonight.

I've started running too. Think I'm off to bed as I can't keep my eyes open.

18/25 for today. It's looking like an AF weekend too.

Hi all,

Made my target of 15/15. That's probably be done for the month as I'm off to the airport shortly for a 2 week break (not in the airport!)

Good luck everyone.

That made me chuckle - thanks Guiness Cat - have a great trip. It's good to get your days in before your holiday, I'm playing catch up after mine.

I've finally begun to start seeing the effect that drinking and not drinking is having on me and with drinking less now and having more time clear headed it's all moving in the right direction at the moment. I will not be complacent I don't want to think it's sorted as that way lies a hangover tomorrow!

I need caffeine before I can make sense in writing - hope this is more coherent than I think it is.
