    Belle, from Tired of Thinking About Drinking says that when people sign up to her 100 Day Challenge it's when they hit Day 60 that she's pretty confident they'll make it.

    Yes I am pretty confident I will make 100 days, I had a few days wobble just after 50 days
    Think it was a bit "am I only halfway there?"
    Treating myself to an AF beer tonight as a reward for 1st full day of gardening this year
    The sunshine makes me feel a bit like the smiley for 21 days!!!
    Not going to get into a habit of having the AF beer all the time as there will come a point when I am somewhere it is not available
    22/31 please Baileys

    Hi Baileys - thanks so much for tracking our progress. I am just plodding along. I want to engage more with all you guys, but I'm not sure I've got much to say at the moment. However I am still here and I am continually grateful for everyonessupport.

    Hi Baileys 8/15 for me please.
    I picked up the MnS £10 deal and the wine then had to put it all back when I remembered. Talk about autopilot behaviour! I'm not saying never I'm saying just not today thank you. It makes it easier.
    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

    Could you not have got a non alcoholic version or was it not worth it? I do love an M+S meal for a treat :)

    I know people like them but they taste horrible to me. I'd rather pass. I bought some perfume today to remind myself there are other ways of treating myself :)

    Thats a coincidence so did I :D I got a far too expensive bottle of La vie est belle but I did part pay with a Christmas voucher and I figured I had easily saved the rest just this month with AF days :):)
