    13/22 AFDs, and a better day today. Plenty of exercise when I took mum to a routine hospital appointment, which involved pushing her wheelchair for a lot further than I expected when I couldn't remember the way back to the car park (doh). Still, we were both in good humour.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    I think the idea of ALDs is making me more mindful already. Tonight I finished off some Pimms, 3 very weak glasses and then just switched to the lemonade on its own:D.
    Glad you had a better day satchmo.

    I am aiming for all ALDs or AF days for the rest of the month.

    I reverted to my usual tipple (more like topple) of wine last night, drank too much and have a headache today. I had it as a kind of experiment although I knew what the outcome would be.

    No more wine for the rest of July :)

    Shaggy, can I do the ALD challenge too please? I'm struggling with having AFDs as regularly as I'd like and as I'm falling behind, I'm getting disheartened. I am massively cutting down though, which for me is worth celebrating :j only two glasses of wine (not the whole bottle) yesterday. Graeme, I know I said one glass, IF I drank but two feels more manageable for me ATM ;)
