    Looking good, Barny!


    17/31 please, Shaggy.
    Better is good enough.
  • Morning all hope you're all good.

    17 for me today. Writing class later so should be AF too but never count my chickens.

    Hey DEBJAY I'm thinking of dry january too. Anyone else thinking of doing Dry January for charity, I'm giving it a good bit of thought.

    :)

    Hugs folks, I've been a bit poorly so its making it a bit easier to not drink in some ways.

    Hugs.
    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:
  • Hope you feel better soon Pippi. I did Go Sober for October and don't fancy having a dry January but will continue to moderate. Best of luck with it though - a great thing to do and a great way to raise money for charity :)

    Well despite the excitement of the footie last night, I didn't drink so 14/21 please Shaggy!

    I'm thinking of dry January, but there's a big family birthday coming up during that month and I don't know if I'll get away with not having a glass of bubbly for the occasion, so, as I'm not going to make target this month, I want to be reasonably sure that the next target I set is doable! I may go for a dry Feb instead - cheating slightly though, as it's a shorter month!
  • Hi Chardonnay :hello:
    What a match! Couldn't watch some of the penalties, _pale_
    Still the lads can hold their heads up high, very proud

    Definitely not an AFD but only had a few so proud of myself too in a way :D

    Declaring for today, 5/20, have carol service or whatnot to go to, tempted for a Baileys hot choc but will give it a miss and add marshmallows instead

    Dry Feb sounds good to me :beer: (non-alcoholic beer of course!)

    :santa2:Lurching from one Christmas do to another here, although fortunately not literally. Being moderate but not good for AF days. Won't be drinking today though.


    7 AFDs please Shaggy.
