Ok declaring today another AF day making it 4 and more impressively for me 4 consecutive days - I honestly cannot remember the last time I went that long since I was pregnant with my youngest ( he is now 4:eek:) I remember having a horrendous tummy bug about a year and a half ago that lasted almost a week so that was probably the last time. Anyway I shall have a couple of drinks tomorrow but they are planned for and look forward to rather than the " oh it's 7 o clock may as well open some wine" that generally happens during the week.CC debt Aug 2018 £50.2K
