Marahouti, if you're changing your target I don't suppose you'd consider declaring on the same day as well? Absolutely not an issue either way but the days when you might have caved and given in in the evening I'm sure are gone and it means the list is consistent for everyone? As I say no problemo either way. xmarahouti said:Good morning.
I am 27/21 for yesterday please cathybird.
I have had a rethink about my regular monthly target on here. I set it at 21 to allow for drinking every weekend and a couple of spontaneous weekday drinks. Over the last many months my attitude to alcohol has changed and I no longer regularly drink at weekends (or at all for the last four months 😲). So my new target for November is 25 please. I have a couple of things coming up next month where I may have a drink.
Thank you XX

Thanks WBF, I enjoyed my social whirl immensely, I am a bit of a homebody and it's actually hard to drag me out of the house and Covid has only made me more so, in good and bad ways probably. But it was just lovely going out for a nice lunch and to see friends and I must do more of the same. The stresses are not so bad at the mo because I've been off work for a couple of weeks. xxWanna_Bee_Free said:Good morning everyone, I'm out for dinner tonight with my little sis but I am 2 days off my AF target with only 4 days left in the month. Undecided. Please can I have a target of 16 in November. Cathybird thanks for looking after our scores again. Did you enjoy your social whirl? I hope things are less stressful for you than a couple of weeks ago.

Live the good life where you have been planted.

Of course, sorry I've been so awkward. There hasn't been a reason for declaring in arrears for a long time; I don't really know why I have still been doing it 😊. 28/21 please. Xcathybird said:

Oh no it's not awkward at all! But you've always said you do it because you're fearful that you might slip up in the evening and that just seems to be something that has very much receded into the past? That's allmarahouti said:
