    Calling early with 20/21 for today please. If I do have a drink later, it'll be a Becks Blue or AF wine :T

    That's the thing that works for me - not drinking Sunday-Thursday but having a couple of drinks on Friday and Saturday. I find that easier now I work Monday to Friday. When I worked shifts and weekends it was hard as didn't know which nights were school nights.

    Helloooooo!!!

    Was going to have an AFD today but have had a really busy day and had pizza for tea and the sun was shining so I just had to have a cold beer with it - only the one, but that's my AFD out the window! :o

    Anyway onwards and upwards! July target will be 20 please Shaggy!

    I am going TF for July please, Shaggy. I haven't met a target in ages, if ever, so there is no point. Maybe going TF will stop me thinking I have loads of time left to rack up some more AF days!

    I would like to join if that's ok, can easily polish off a bottle of Pinot, on my own, but am sitting here drinking water and have been for the last 3 days.

    I am going away this weekend but will try not to drink anything until Friday, but know I will over the weekend and that's ok, but will get back to it on Monday.
