Double Win there then! I hope it was raspberry ripple!Coveredinbees!!!! said:Hi 12/20 please. Went out last night to see Jon Richardson, I wasn't sure about seeing him but he was so funny. Had a half time ice cream instead of a beer. I dread to think how much a beer was as the ice cream was £4.80

Hope everyone had a great Easter!
I fell off the wagon on Good Friday, visited family for the bank holiday weekend then fell into the trap of having a couple of glasses of wine each night as i was off work.
Had some wins, I've still been attending my gym sessions and had a good clear out of 3 rooms in the house. 11 bin bags for the tip and a pile for charity.
I have a 6 week plan to get me to my next holiday at the end of May. Not totally AF but only drinking on the occasions that are planned.
5/21 for today please cathybird-I won't hit my target again but there's still plenty of AF days for me to add. I will get the balance right one day!
