    After double checking my records, I am declaring the month over on 24/25. Just missing my target but I'm still quite pleased about my level of will power for the month.

    31/31 please, Shaggy.

    Super-well done to everyone who came close, met or exceeded their target. Aiming high and nearly making it is probably an indication that things were tougher than expected for a reason but the lovely thing is that so many people kept going right to the end. It's been absolutely lovely seeing the thread so full of people! (I got rather lonely in December sometimes, and I think there was even one weekend when I was the only poster!) I dip in and out of 'sober blogs' and I have to say that people on this thread seem to succeed more often than some bloggers. Very heartening.

    And as always, mega-thanks for the wonderful Shaggy for keeping the show on the road.
    Better is good enough.
  • Bring on February! Let's do this :j
  • Another one for last night so 21/18 for January.

    Shaggy, thank you so much for keeping the scores and, boy, has it been busy for you. Congratulations to everyone who succeeded in their dry January challenge, you have been brilliant.

    Looking forward to February, good luck everyone.
