Sorry to not have posted . Had a orthopaedics appointment Sunday about my back. Arthritis in my back is making the bones in lumbar vertebrae overgrow,narrowing the space for spinal cord,which rubs against the bone. I was fine walking,bending backwards and forwards,standing on tiptoes,but walking on my heels was a killer,set off the pain,I nearly fell down. Have to have another scan.Lot of walking through hospital corridors and grounds,20 min wait for bus home didnt help either,so I've had a bad few days. My chest infection has now lasted a month too,so all is a bit dodgy on the health front,but I'm back on the computer,so thats good!

Glad to say I have stayed AF all through it.I had all my Xmas drinks for Xmas delivered,but was careful not to buy whiskey,only thing I drink,

So sorry to hear you've been through a tough time healthwise dustydigger, hope you get better soon, but well done in the meantime on staying AF!! xx

21 days today please.

Really tired and run down today, went home from the office at 3.00pm on instruction from one of my staff, after the 'you look awful' talk ha, thanks. Going to have an early night and hope I'm just run down rather than coming down with something. Excuse for a drink in times gone by, will have a sleepy tea instead a bit later. Plan to listen to a couple of podcasts in bed with my tea.   

@sukeyboo Happy birthday! 

@Coveredinbees!!!! Did the right thing resisting the Baileys if you're wanting to keep the weight off and still eat food. When I used to drink more I used to regularly have a 3 shot espresso and fill the rest of the cup with Baileys. Tend to just make myself a flat white these days ha.

@dustydigger that sounds awful but well done for staying AF throughout. 

@Arkers hope you get there and have a good time on holiday.

Hope you are on the mend soon, dustydigger.

Happy birthday sukeyboo, hope you have a great day. Could I also just recognise that on the quiet you have been regularly beating your monthly targets for a while now - you must be pleased with that?

22/26 please cathybird, thank you.

Evening campers - coming to the end of day 8 here, so 8/8 so far.  Feeling grand, sleep is starting to even out a lot, which we expected.  Myself and Mrs Pilgrim are off for a few days holiday soon and don't expect any wifi signal...so I shall probably be back around 3rd december, where I fully expect to be announcing 17/17! (Cos I'mn sticking to a year off the booze regardless of holidays, christmas, birthdays...whatever)  Bring it on!

@Grey_Pilgrim Yeah! I can do it, you too!

Happy birthday @sukeyboo! 

Great start @Grey_Pilgrim! And have a nice holiday 

@alt80 hope you feel better soon! Sleepy tea sounds good.. I am drinking an excessive amount of chamomile tea at the moment

Day 22/25 for me today please @cathybird

Tomorrow I am paying the last of my debt off! I have always thought I might celebrate with a glass of something fizzy but not really feeling like it at the moment. I will see how I feel tomorrow! 

Hope everyone is well
