    I've not had a chance to be on here much at all this week, I'm covering a site in Aberdeen and it's been frantic. Back to my normal site for a few weeks from Monday then moving home permanently at the end of June :)


    Hopefully we won't get back into any bad habits with the move home. Mrs fatrab wants to lose weight and money will be a bit tighter as I will lose my subsistence allowance, so we'll be living frugally for a while until we get into a routine.


    8/30 for today please :)
    You can have results or excuses, but not both.
    Challenge - be 14 Stone BY XMAS!

    I hadn't been on here for awhile but I was keeping track still, and my total for May was 8/11. For June I'd like a goal of 5, and 1/5 please.

    Better is good enough.
    Note to self: Motivation follows Action, not the other way around.

    The last time I had a hot chocolate (which was delish) mid-afternoon I couldn't get to sleep that night for hours. I hope yours didn't keep you awake WishUs.
    - Nah. it was a late one - just the people texting me at 1am! :rotfl:


    Got asked to attend an event as a favour to a freind last night. Once more alcohol free as I tried Caxton press elderflower lemonade (yum) and a Becks Blue (ok). Makes me 7 days so far!
    Keep reading books!

    There's no doubt that for some people holidays are a real temptation and danger zone.


    This thread has made so much difference to me over time. I will be drinking on holiday but I know I won't be drinking to excess. So no more embarrassing behaviour or hangovers.:D What's more is I know I'll be able to slip back into my AF routine when I get back.:D


    4 AFDs please Baileys.

    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Emergency fund 1400/1000
    Buffer fund 100/100
