    Speaking as one of those who are struggling @Season_of_Mist I really enjoy reading about other's successes. I want to cheer when I read of those high totals so please keep posting them and I will aspire to join you all one day. I also think there are different people on here, some who want to stop drinking altogether and others like me who just want to cut down and not drink daily (even if only 1 glass of whatever). So yes, as Sukeyboo and Wanna_Bee_free said, shout it from the rafters and we will celebrate your success.

    Posting August total late,I am just superbusy preparing for visitor. No help from family,one is in Vienna on a course,one is working down south,wont be around till midday today,and has plenty to do since the whole tribe will be at his place all day tomorrow. DD1 returned from Greece late last night,and the other is doing 2 jobs since her boss is having chemo.  So I had to go it alone with my messy house. Decided to just do a major tidy dusting and wash paintwork.,no deep clean or washing carpets,will tell him frankly the physical reality.
    His visit will be only one day.All this disruption at Heathrow has put back his incoming flight by half a day. He will get here to our house about 9pm. His plane back to USA leaves 6 am Monday,so we will be seeing him off from our house at midnight Sunday.He does that as a regular routine.A thousand dollars for one day!!
    So, 26/24 for August please cathybird. And 24 target for September please. A host of family birthdays,7 in all this month,its the bedlam month of the year,and the most challenging to have AF days,so 24 seems fair.
    Now off to make breakfast for Mr D,then I will start at 9 am to do heaps of stuff. Bathroom,change bedding,hoover ,clean couch,make dinner,sort plates and cutlerymop kitchen floor to name but a few.
    We are going to have chinese takeaway for supper,a ebrunch,then feed at my sons on and off all day Sunday.and fish and chips for supper .No cooking by Dusty at all,I put my foot down.lol
    Wish me luck that my back hold out. I'm living on painkillers and numerous rests to get through.
    Put me down as 2/24 please cathybird.
    See you all Monday,AF or not
