    calling in early for tonight's 8/31 AFDs


    The demotivator link makes for scary reading, I spend/waste £2k on wine, newspapers and sweets and work for 5 weeks to pay for them.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    Evening all

    I'm very proud of myself.
    I decided to go out and buy some wine after I got home from work because I had to go out again to et some milk.
    I did try to talk to myself about my decision and decided instead I would rather have the 7 day smiley.

    Calling 7/30 please Shaggy.

    I hope to be back once the kids have been put down

  • I ended up using one of my two designated drinking days today and had a glass of red wine when I went out for dinner. Thought long and hard about it before I did though. I actually enjoyed it more too as it was a treat rather than an expectation.
    Only one more allowed now though!
