yes, still here!! Not been on the forum as often recently as I was spending a bit too much time on here when I should have been working! And I'm rarely on at weekends or in the evenings, I don't switch the laptop on outside working hours... time at home is too precious.
Currently on 5/28 AFDs and 6/28 TAFDs. Still not quite managed to go completely AF yet. I didn't drink Friday or Saturday but I was out for an hour on Sunday and had a few pints plus have a planned day on the 25th where I'll probably have a drink, otherwise it'll be a quiet month so no temptation.
Thanks for keeping me in mind thoughYou can have results or excuses, but not both.Challenge - be 14 Stone BY XMAS!

Everyone Welcome Anytime of the Month!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 -

It always worries me when people disappear without saying anything FatRab because they often never appear again. We're left wondering if they're doing really well, or have slipped up and over-indulged and carried on doing so. Anyone is free to disappear, obviously, but they're all missed. Glad you posted, thank you and your figures look great.
7/31 please, Shaggy.Better is good enough.0 -
Not sure if you can read this link without a subscription:

Briefly it's about the proliferation in AF drinks and how popular and acceptable it's becoming to not to drink alcohol. What struck me though with my mse hat on:money: is that it's proving a nice little earner for the producers. Presumably they don't have to pay the duty but they're charging similar prices.:undecided
5/10 AFDs please Shaggy.0 -
I'd still been lurking HB, I read & like all the posts, I just hadn't posted
I've been the same on my thread in the DFW section too. I used to post every day but now I only post weekly or if something significant happens financially. When I was site-based I could manage my own time and pop onto the forum whenever I wanted, now that I'm in head office I'm less able to do that.
Maman I've tried loads of AF drinks over the past few months and they're 100% not worth the money in pubs.
I'm going for a completely dry September, we're having a party on the 25th Aug for the wee ones 1st birthday and then it's Mrs fatrabs birthday at the beginning of October so a dry September should be absolutely do-able!You can have results or excuses, but not both.Challenge - be 14 Stone BY XMAS!
