Definitely with you on the fish & chips Maman - we always use Bennett’s on the Quay over the lift-up bridge

Last time we went was our wedding anniversary back in August. DH told people he'd taken me out for dinner and a show. Punch and Judy and then fish and chips exactly where you said!:D

Just one visitor left, going home later today and then peace will reign. I know what you mean about entertaining arsenalbarnie. I just feel obliged to sit with people when DH and I are used to being together but not in the same room.

I'm hoping to pack DD off with some of the food but most of what's left is either healthy or DH will eat it. I think you're very brave going to fat club. I'll be avoiding that for a few weeks.

I like Weymouth sukey. We can get a direct train there from the bottom of the road and it's a lovely place to spend the day. Usually a visit is accompanied by fish and chips though so probably best not to go at the moment.;)

I wont be AF over the weekend but haven't decided yet when 'normal' will be resumed.

So glad I got weighed I lost 1.5lbs!

Hello all . Drank Christmas Day but only one glass at dinner , then had to drive , but I did drink in the evening!
On Boxing Day I only drank half a bottle of low alcohol wine , not very nice tasting , hence the half bottle!
Today wasn’t going to drink but ended up going out and did drink , but stuck to vodka , so feel fine !
Tomorrow I’m out so at the moment don’t see any more alcohol free days until jan now ,,,,,,,,
Oh dear !

Morning all, 21/21 for me today please Last three days of the decade today! If I cast my mind back to 2010, I was in a much worse place then than I am today - I was drinking too much and I was in debt and had just broken up with a partner who made me unhappy, which was at least part of the reason for the drinking and the debt. So today I'm no longer in debt and I have got the booze under control and am happily single - have always enjoyed my own company and wish I'd realised sooner I was better off on my own. I have MSE to thank for a good deal of this. I'm grateful Thanks to everyone on this thread too, you have made all the difference xxx

PS It was so helpful to post what I was drinking on my non-AFDs I'm thinking I'll keep it up, if it's not boring people? I'm sure I will be more likely to keep the amount down if I spell out what I decide to drink.

:T on reaching your December target cathy.

Not boring at all. I think keeping track of what we're drinking or not drinking is very useful.:)

Thanks maman Congratulations to you too Think we've all done pretty well with our targets this month, given that it's December!

Congratulations cathybird - both on reaching target & sorting your life out :T:T:T

Undecided about drinking today - will see how I feel this evening.

Weymouth was abandoned yesterday in the end as it started to rain so will try again for Monday as the forecast is looking good
