    Thanks for the get well messages - totally undeserved - entirely self-inflicted :( I think it was a minor rebellion at what's to come when DH starts to work away M-F and I'm home alone with all the kids.

    13/24 today - long may this continue...

    I have been AF on Monday, yesterday and today so that's 8 for me please Shaggy. The sunshine made me feel tempted today but I had sparkling water in the pub instead.

    It's a planned drinking day for me tomorrow so I'm back for a 4 day School Night challenge next week on Monday to Thursday.

    I slept really well last night, good night everyone - sweet dreams!

    Hello! :hello: Just spent ages catching up with this thread - I love this thread so much......so inspirational and supportive! :)

    Thanks for all of your best wishes for the holiday. I'm afraid I slipped on the first night and had one glass of Cava....one lousy glass!! However, it did make me realise that I wasn't missing anything and made me more determined if anything and I didn't drink for the rest of the holiday, which is a massive first for me. Back on track!

    So I will miss my target this month but on 14/30 please Shaggy!

    15/30 please, Shaggy.

    Thank you for my 272 banner! It's a random number, but a rather attractive one, I think.

    Welcome back, Chardonnay.
    Better is good enough.
    Note to self: Motivation follows Action, not the other way around.
  • Evening folks. 6/21 for today please shaggy x

    Well done Chardonnay :T. I'm off next week for 2 weeks. Haven't resolved to be totally AF but will try to have 3 AF days each week. Also, moderate my drinking when I do drink :A
    14/20 for tonight please - 2nd smiley.
