1/30 please, Shaggy.
Thanks for the link, Maman. I know now what to look for next time I'm in Sainsbobs. I've always been rather scathing about flavoured coffees, so I'm going to have to eat my words - not unusual.Better is good enough.0 -
Yes its the beanies one, I think there's a ground one but its the instant I tried.0

1/19 for tonight please.0

Hi everyone
Hope you all had a lovely weekend.
Shaggy can you put me down for 10 AFD for Nov please
It’s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts0 -
2/30 please, Shaggy.
And that's it. I've reached my target of 100 Alcohol Free Days! Yay, and all of that good kind of stuff.
:beer:
or
:T, more appropriately and :j!
I celebrated with a highball glass of guava juice - my absolute favourite - while I did the washing up. In the olden days, that would have been a monster goblet of red wine on top of the bottle I'd have had with dinner, after I'd knocked back a belter of a G&T (and finished off OH's G&T) as he moved on to his first glass of red before I did. He'd have knocked back the same amount of alcohol, topped off with a large whisky at the end of the evening. Tonight, he had the G&T and then one glass of wine.
I've signed up for the next of Belle's Challenges, which is 180 Days Alcohol Free, so if it's okay with the contributors to this thread, I'll be carrying on. That should take me through to about 21st January next year. I've already dropped off two bottles of alcohol free sparkling stuff at the place we're spending Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
It all seems like a long way away right now, but nowhere near as long as 100 Days did back on 26 July.
Thank you so much, everyone who contributes to making this thread a great place to be, especially Shaggy. I couldn't have done it without all of you.Better is good enough.0 -

Good choice mackeroo, I find 10 is manageable and a good feeling if you can beat it.:)0 -
Morning :hello:
No more AFDs to add. Will be jumping back on the wagon tonight.
ShaggyxWhat do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.0 -
