    I've not been very successful this month either leftathetrafficlights! I think it's very unlikely I will get any more AFDs this month. Lots of reasons / excuses, none very valid though.

    However January is a new month and a new year too so please can I have 180 AFDs for 2022 and 15 AFDs for January please?  And many thanks to #Cathybird for all her hard work in maintaining the totals. 
  • May I join you for January please? Too much wine over Christmas 🤶 so am going to attempt dry January so 31 for me please - thank you 😊

    Okay, I've gone back to the start of this thread and had a quick look at the original post but for the life of me I cannot work out what TF stands for!

    I’m also attempting Dry January and I’m under no illusions that I’m going to find it difficult. 
    15/TF for me so far please. 
    I’m also contemplating a dry new year too. It will be good to wake up starting the new year with a clear head and no regrets/feeling grumpy. 
    If so, please can I include it in my January total, just for this month? Because if I go 31/31 I can’t exceed target. 
    It’s also my birthday in January but it’s mid week so I don’t think I’ll be doing anything special. 
    Live for the moment and plan for the future

    Thank you! I know it won’t be easy but will give it my best shot (oh no alcohol related pun intended there!)  :)

    24/25 for me today please.

    Can I set my target for January at 31 please? DH and I always go AF during January and try to stretch it out as far as we can. 
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?
