    19/20 AFDs for me, and I'm starting to shake off the tiredness from the weekend now, ready for a more relaxed Bank Holiday weekend, with lunch on Monday with son, partner and grand-daughter.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    Well done, Debjay on meeting your target!

    Let's see if I can remember them, Shaggy. Plastering for Beginners (I need steel toe-capped boots for that one, apparently! Good ole Ebay), Carpentry for Beginners, Tiling, Wallpapering and General DIY for Beginners, Hair Up, Patchwork Bag in a Day, Willow Basket in a Day and finally with another organisation, Crochet for Beginners. I'm tired of waiting for OH to do the bits of the DIY stuff that I can't do and I'm okay-ish with sewing, so I figured if I extended my skillset it would be rather fun. One by one they stretch right through from September to next June, and they cost a lot less than the booze I would have sunk over the same period.

    28/31 please.
    Better is good enough.

    Yay, 20/20 AFDs and target reached. I've had a blood pressure headache for the last two days - it's remarkably like a hangover.

    Well done to all who have reached their target already x

    Hi everyone

    thank you all for the welcome messages. Getting a bit of practice in and cutting back ready for total AF September. I've been reading some of the historic posts and I really hope I do as well as you all have.

    I'm the only one who is stopping me from achieving my goals! :wall:
