Also can I just query the annual 2017 figures, as I had myself at 109/120 on 11th Dec, but your total was 106 (maybe I hadn't reported some AF days in?). That makes me 115/120 as of today, thanks ever so much as I really want to hit my 2017 target :rotfl:
The annual totals are to 30th November.....?
Glad that the annual challenge seems to be helping posters to "finish strong"...What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.0 -

One bought a bottle of ginger beer, another a bottle of shoer. The rest of us had elderflower cordial with fizzy water.
The evening went really well, lots of laughter and gossip - but not the nasty sort.
They all brought chocolates, 6 boxes of the stuff. They munched through 2 boxes and I am left with the remainder.
I'm sick of the sight of chocolate and it isn't even Christmas day.
Two discovered a shared love of Star Wars, the rest of us discovered a shared love of Dickens and the Bronzes, Jane Eyre being a particular favourite.
Dishwasher currently completing 3rd load of the evening then off to bed.
Calling in an AF day. I think it's 4/11
That's absolutely brilliant, Scatterbrain, and the choice of tipples fascinating. I think there are a lot of people who are just tired of being expected to slosh back booze relentlessly. I'm so glad you all had a great evening. Well done for organising it.
OH and I went to the theatre last night. He apologised to me about 15 minutes in (he'd organised it) and said afterwards that in 65 years of being involved with theatre it was, without doubt, the worst thing he'd ever seen. It was the worst thing I'd ever seen too but sadly we couldn't leave as we were hemmed in by other people and there was no interval. There were a fair few people who were in groups, so works outings I'm assuming, and a fair few with bevvies with them (allowed here, in plastic beakers) and I think the laughter was booze-greased, because nothing on stage was in the least bit funny.
20/31 please, Shaggy.Better is good enough.0 -

Sorry Shaggy, hadn't realised it was to the end of November. And yes it has really made me push to the end of December so gives me a strong start for 2018 targets, silly me
