    7/24 AFDs although if there had been wine in the house I'd have been sorely tempted.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    4/TF for tonight please.

    Since this is a non-judgemental place I don't mind saying I like a snowball. Dry January meant we've some advocaat but the lemonade was flat, so it lives to fight another day and I clock up another AF. Every cloud.

    You've stunned everybody into silence Alex ;). Another well done from over here.

    I won't be AF tonight, shall have some red wine with our beef casserole.

    Hope everyone's having a good weekend. And a dry one in every sense.

    Had a bit of a hangover this morning after drinking rather too much red wine at a wedding yesterday. Have had copious amounts of water today and know exactly why I don't drink like that every day any more! I can't believe how I used to drink about 1.3 bottles of red every single evening and get up and function at work the next day. Scary thought.:eek:


    I'll have just a little with my dinner tonight and then from tomorrow I'm hoping for the full SNC.

    8/24 AFDs for me, and the "want" of yesterday has receded, thank goodness.


    Poor Maman. I must admit that too many Sunday mornings used to be blighted by hangovers.
