    Well I didn’t manage it. Succumbed to two glasses and then stopped at 8 which is now my cut off time.
    I had to read that twice to make sure you didn't have eight to drink! Well done for stopping after two.

    8/17 for today. In part due to sinuses playing up and an abscess on my tooth! Antibiotics and root canal on Friday eek. Blimey knows why am dreading it after the op I had recently.
    I find it scarey because someone I hardly know puts and electric drill in your mouth, turns it on and then applies it to me. I don't understand people who aren't worried by the dentist!

    16/18 today, and went for a run.
    I'm 21lbs down since Christmas, slow and steady wins the race!!!
    Wow! Fanastically well done.

    Sorry to have missed out on your story, Wilson, but huge congratulations on making it just the same. I totally agree it's 100% worthwhile.

    Congratultions Maman for getting back on track, and Season of Mist on four month - that's huge!

    24/31 please, Shaggy. Sorry to hear about the 8lbs. How depressing.
    Better is good enough.

    Same here!:D I'm not sure I could handle a curfew on my drinking though.

    Good to see you back Shaggy. I'm still trying to lose my holiday gain, hence the extra AF days.

    16/10 please

    19/TF, please Shaggy.

    In spite of the hot weather I stuck to a couple of bottles of AF beer this evening, which I had definitely earnt having spent all day as builder's mate to the OH. Sadly the mini digger is out of action so I'm off the hook for the rest of the BH :rotfl:

    Thanks sukeyboo :) I actually have to work today, which made it a lot easier to make it an AFD!
