    1/21 no flipping sleep mind. Any suggestions for savoury drinks? Tried a no added sugar ginger beer last night :( not jumping for joy on that one I must say. May have to be ye old B* cks Blue.

    Well, B3cks gets my vote during the evening, but if you can't sleep I'd suggest a hot drink at bedtime. I know it sounds a bit 'pipe and slippers' but it really does help. OH has started having a hot chocolate after not sleeping through the night for several years and says it really helps.
    Better is good enough.
  • 2/21:T. Bit of a struggle but got there.
    Thanks Honey Bear for the tips. The no sleep was down to the OH snoring like a train. Usually tho I have had a few glasses of vino and crash out before him. Sober me takes longer to get to sleep. I know it will be temporary and my sleep will improve. Ready to go up the wooden hill now but the mad puppy is on wide awake time:mad:

    Good luck tomorrow folks. As it is Friday I will be indulging myself but am planning a sensible intake as fatfighters on Monday:D

    Have a lovely holiday Chardonnay!

    I'm up to 2/15 but missed wine more than yesterday when I saw sunshine and seeing lots of Londoners outside pubs enjoying a drink.

    But it was Thursday so no debating society here!

    Arsenal Barnie I love Lemongrass snd Ginger by Bottle Green and I was drinking a lot of tonic minus gin at one point, especially Fever Tree.

    Sleep well everyone.

    Good Luck and have a happy holiday Chardonnay.


    I'm away from tomorrow until Tuesday. I won't be AF but will be moderate.


    Tonight I could have had a drink. I had half a bottle in the fridge that needed 'using up' but I just didn't feel like it.


    2 AFDs please Shaggy.


    Have a great weekend everyone whatever you're doing.

    What 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.
