    I am feeling really pleased with myself for staying AF last night. There are 35 days remaining this year including today. For the last few years by this point in the year my annual target of 150 is no longer possible. I'm currently on 128/150. This year it's still possible but feels like a big challenge. Last year I had 4 AF days in December so I can and will need do significantly better than that this year!
    This is just a thought but what about going straight through until Christmas Day? I don't know whether or not it might be tricky to combine this with work or family festive occasions but it would get you most of the way to 150 with a few days in hand after Christmas Day to reach target. Then you could go non-AFD on New Year's Eve?? ... xx

    Can I set a target of 25 for December please? 
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    AFD today, Saturday so 19/18 please.

    I need to wait to see end of November totals before deciding on December.Funny though I was going to book a meal out Tuesday night but then realised I can't get my 21 day emoji so have changed the meal to Wednesday! 
  • Hi Cathybird, 
    I'll wait until I see where I am with my annual target before deciding on my December target, I'm hoping for at least 3 days to drink.

    I used to be broke now I'm just skint
