Leftatthetrafficlights - this post made me chuckle! Well done on your 3 days and have a good day today with company either way.
Marahouti and Rob, you two made me chuckle too. My worst falling asleep incident was years ago on a night bus. I woke up in Trafalgar Sqare. There was hazard tape around the area but no police, driver or other passengers. I was unharmed and had my purse etc fine but had gone at least once around the full circuit of the bus route as I was further South than when I started heading North to Camden. The jager bombs in the nightclub were a very bad idea!
Welcome to Hollowhead and well done on making a great start, 6 already. I do hope the rest of August goes well
Pollyanna - welcome back and well done on your full school night challenge - good luck for the rest of August!
CuppaTea, sorry to hear about your struggles getting through to drinkline at the start of August. Did you manage to get through eventually?
I'm back from holiday. No AF days but nothing awful to report in terms of drunken events, hangovers, bad behaviour etc which is good although I maintained my usual bottle of wine a day habit give or take.
I feel very doubtful about reaching 14 this month but I can definitely get to 10 and I will try to claw back extra days if I can, starting with today which I hope will be a rare AF Sunday. I am aiming for a twirling daisy on Tuesday 24th and if I can pull a dog out of the hat this month I'll be amazed. My 10 day AF Plan for the rest of August: 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 24, 25, 26 & 31.
