19 total for October, please Shaggy. And target of 23 for November
Sorry about this late posting, things are very, very busy here in RL. Mr Pricey and I went over the top with wine on Sat evening after going to see Mr Turner (is it something about that film?) :eek:
and have both decided to have an alcohol-free rest of November until Sat 6 December.This is the first time we have made such a plan together and we are determined to do it. :cool: Alcohol consumption has been creeping up again and I am sick of it now.
Have a good week everybody0 -

Great idea to work on it together pricey. Good Luck!
Calling in for today as definitely no drinking, really hoping for the full SNC this week.

Evening :hello:
1 more AFD for yesterday.
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 -

Hey up shagster - 10 days for me.
Hello all hope you're all well and knocking up the AFD's.
Excellent drink balancing up there Satchmo and Maman!
Good lot of healthy debate on here again, all good stuff.
Waves to all and well done on finding an extra day there Barney!
Pricey me and mr pippi are having a af november as we've had lots of visitors since we moved and it just got a bit too much providing wine for everyone. So purse is pulled tight.
Have a great evening all.
HB Did I read you're doing Belles 180 days now - well done! Sorry if I read that wrong.Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:
minus 112.06 = £7755.32:money:
:money:Sleeves up folks.:money:0 -
Yes, Pippi, you read that right; I have signed up for Belle's 180 Day Challenge. The 'pink cloud' thing I've read about somewhere, where it's easy to get over-confident and almost high on being sober, worries me far too much to attempt to fly solo, as it were, at the moment.
I'm also developing a rather worrying taste for Beck's Blue and found myself looking forward to having one this afternoon, although I drew the line at allowing myself to have one in the middle of the afternoon - I never drank during the day!
And I wasn't a beer drinker, either.Better is good enough.0
