2/21 for tonight please. Hoping that 21 is an achievable target this month - did 21 last month although target was 25.

3/21 AFDs for me. Thanks for the encouragement. I've also just been invited for interview for a maternity cover role which would be interesting but unlikely to lead further.

Not having a drink tonight, so that makes 2/21.

Chardonnay - you are so right - I am definitely in the mindset of 'oh, it's Friday time to kick-back and enjoy a glass (or several) of wine' and then it carries on into Saturday & Sunday :eek: - it has become part of my routine and it is very difficult to break that cycle

It's mad isn't it Sukey? At least we are thinking about what we are drinking now though and not just mindlessly doing it...that must be a start!

3/19 AFDS please Shaggy!

Obviously, you'd prefer the other role but getting some local experience and a local reference isn't totally dead end. Fingers crossed for you.

Thanks Maman, you're right.


Calling in early with 4/21 as I'm off to Glos to front an event, and won't be home until 10-ish.

Oh dear, I went AWOL and failed miserably in May - think I might have managed 7 out of 16! So ashamed!
Will try for 16 in June, and I've already managed 1, so we'll see how it goes from there.

Managed 2/17 last night.

I think I'm working a bit too much to my target - as I very rarely exceed it.

should really treat the target as AFD's >17 rather than AFD's=17

All the best

Hi everyone :hello:,

Calling in early with 3/12 please shaggy.

I am determined to stay AF until Friday and then reduce my weekend drinking, as the last couple of weekends have got a bit silly - not huge amounts (half a bottle of wine & a couple of half-pints of cider on Friday, Saturday & Sunday) but this is more than I feel comfortable with nowadays

Good luck with the job interviews satchmo

You're absolutely right there GC. I try to exceed my target but I set it really low in the first place.:o


I'm still thinking about tonight. I'd like a drink with the England friendly (not convinced there will be many England games to celebrate:(). Will decide nearer the time.
