    Sorry to mess you about Cathy but I had an AF Friday😇 to add to my annual total.  Thank you so much for keeping the scores for us, it's so motivating. 😊

    I'm delighted to coming in so much closer to cutting down 50% rather than my floor target of about a third. Looks like you're going to get to target a month early lantanna!😀

    15/10 AFDs please.😊

    Yes Maman, I hope so. That’s why I’m thinking of hiking it up a bit for next year. I’d love to hit 200 days next year.  Everyone has done so well with everything this year has thrown at us all personally never mind Covid ! Last November and December I think I was nearly drinking every day. So glad I found this challenge. Love the smileys as always Cathybird, especially the pumpkin

    So last day of the month which means I'm 31/31 for Stoptober in aid of Macmillan. Raised over £800 in the process. Due a "boys night out" this week. Sadly, I don't actually want to drink which is the first time ever I think. Certainly haven't done 31 consecutive non drinking days since spring of 2015. 

    Have a great Halloween 🎃 

    Ma pants. X 
    Many congratulations manpants! And I'm sure Macmillan will be very pleased as well. 👏👏👏

    Congratulations on successfully completing Stoptober ManPants 👏👏👏 - £800 is an amazing amount to raise and for such a worthwhile cause.
  • Well done ManPants, great effort. And congratulations to everyone on here who have done so well with targets this month.

    Well done ManPants :):) I've updated the annual challenge and November list on p635 but won't repost just yet as the lists take up a lot of room!
