    16/17 please Shaggy, calling in early due to driving later.

    Fingers crossed i make target tomorrow, its a friday night, but I do have a long day Saturday and it would be better with a clear head.

    Saturday I am out at a bbq and pre-party before that so I know wine will be involved. Still undecided about that.
    Live for the moment and plan for the future

    I've really struggled this month, maybe it is post-holiday blues, or maybe I am just finding excuses, I don't know. Have managed to get to 9/16, which is truly appalling for me when I try not to drink 4 nights a week.:(


    I hope to do better in July and am going to set myself a target that I stand a chance of keeping to - 3d a week AF......13 for July please Shaggy
    What goes around comes around.....I hope!
