    Good to see you back lucy. Hope you had a great holiday and good luck with your job hunting. :)


    You had me worried there for a moment paspatur.;) In a way I'm glad you didn't enjoy the AF beer although HB does recommend Becks Blue if you wanted to try something more palatable. I'm not a beer drinker but I'm not a fan of sweet or fizzy (other than champagne:o) so I can sympathise.


    No plans to drink today.


    8/10 AFDs please Baileys.

    A 20 year habit of having a glass of wine with dinner means I need something slightly sour, hence the Bec*s Bl*e. Without it, I know I'd be tempted again. When OH isn't here I simply forget! It's just a straightforward way of breaking a bad habit, and extremely useful when we're out - I honestly couldn't have done this without something to fall back on other than sugary drinks when we're in the pub.

    14/28 please, Baileys.
    Better is good enough.

    14/28 for tonight please Baileys
    25 in a row
    don't think i will make a habit of AF lager at all
    I don't go to pubs very often and when I do it is usually daytime when out shopping so a coffee is an acceptable choice

  • Planning another one tomorrow

    Apparently pancakes are enough of an excuse so no more for me yet.

    Today I am not drinking - 4/12 please Baileysonice.

  • Maman, thanks for that article on pajamas, that made me giggle.

    I tried an alcohol free Erdinger at a Wetherspoons this week and thought it was something I’ll have again. They also have a low alcohol Erdinger but I didn’t try that one.

    Welcome bacl Lucy - 25 days straight in January is excellent!
