Shaggy, could I be so bold as to ask whether there's a set limit on this thread for an ALD or whether the idea is that we set our own limits? ... I was thinking of including some ALDs every month from now on.

You can set your own limits and shout out when you achieve your goal. Happy to tot up ALDs for posters if they want.

hi Shaggy, thanks for letting me know - I'll have a think about how I might approach it!

:T to those of you on target for Dry January but a special :T to those not giving up because they've had the odd drink or two. I'm full of admiration. So easy to say s*d it.


I had a moderate weekend but back on the wagon today. My DH is still sticking to AFness for the first time in as long as I can remember. It makes a difference to me I think.


4 AFDs please Shaggy.

Another AFD for me for yesterday please - 10/31 thanks Shaggy x

On for another tonight, but we are going out for dinner, so the temptation will be there :eek: I will try to resist!

11/31 AFDs for me today. Today has been a mixed bag.


Good: planning a milestone birthday-trip to Italy, which will include an evening at the open air Opera in Verona, time in Florence, Pisa and Milan. It's likely to be a culture-fest, it's unlikely to be AF, lol. I've started a must-see list. Any day-time suggestions for Verona gratefully received.


Bad: taking mum to a consultant's appointment for two non-malignant basal-cell carcinomas. The one on her leg, the consultant proposes doing a skin graft but said the likelihood of it grafting was only 30%. I wasn't impressed (he could tell) with a 70% chance of failure. I wanted to know what would happen if it was left. He said it will grow, but he couldn't assess how quickly.


Wryly funny: The consultant's name is Mr James. My mum's name is Mrs James. I asked him whether he'd tell his mum to have it done (I didn't realise the humour of that until later) - his response was too quick for my liking, i.e. he's been asked that before and his answer didn't appear to take the patient's age (86) and skin fragility (extremely) into consideration.
