Suzied, do you remember the name of the Dry January app you down loaded? I think I'll have a go at this, and the app might help

DD and I have signed up for dry January. Luckily ends day before my 60th

Oh believe me, I'm no saint I can drink a bottle of wine by myself but only when in the mood which doesn't happen often.

I only ever drink at Christmas, when I usually have a bottle of Harvey's Bristol Cream in my stocking. I have no intention of going without my daily tot until the bottle is empty, which will probably be around the end of January.
I shall have to knock off the other goodies, tho' - my jeans are a bit 'snug' as a result of all the cake, chocolates and mince-pies

Yes I shall be having a totally dry January - but not by choice !! Oh dear me no !! Bloody slipped disc means my first glass of gin and tonic.... and trust me it'll be a huge one... will be in approximately ten weeks !

In the meantime a helpful friend sent me a large glass she'd had specially etched for me with the words.... Gin and Bear It !!

Here's to a Happy and Healthy New year for us all ! Cheers !

Easy for me. I don't drink alcohol, ever, full stop. Don't like it.

Good luck everyone who gives it a go , every month is dry for me but my son and dil do try to have a 'dry' January.

I don't usually drink so perhaps I ought to have a 'wet' January and reverse the trend? One bottle of Sloe Gin and several bottles of wine lined up

Ha ha - loving these posts! So full of fun - jury definitely still out as to whether my January will be dry - though having slipped a bribe to the foreman/person I think the purveyors of fine wines and Glenmorangie will be able to breathe a sigh of relief that in my part of Oxfordshire at least their sakes will remain stable! ??

I don't drink so I can't join the 'booze free' brigade. Thank goodness they don't have a coffee free month - I would really have problems.

Your halo is shining brightly Ninathenanny, but as one of the lesser mortals who probably drinks more than is good for her and enjoys every mouthful, I shall be joining the dry January brigade. I do have two or three weeks off several times during the year anyway, so hopefully won't find it too hard.

Sorry ladies Easter is actually the last weekend in March
I shall probably have an alcohol free January even though it's my birthday.
I had two glasses of bubbly with Christmas lunch. That was my entire intake for December.

It's a really good idea I think but I would find that too much of a challenge at the same time as trying to lose weight so we are going to have a drink at weekends only during January and never lunchtimes which we sometimes do at weekends. It will help the weight loss but I don't want to set unrealistic goals for myself.

Maggie keep trying ....

Darn it, grannyqueenie, I nearly got away with that! .

Update: Those of us in England will of course need to raise a glass to St George in April.

Sorry to have to tell you this, butEaster's in March this year!!

Yes, I'm up for it. Recently did a dry September and felt much better for it ...

I did Dry January last year and it was fine. I did feel better, though it was a bit boring. I'm intending to do it again after the N Y E party of course! Thre is a Dry January app you can get to track your progress which I have downloaded.

I was struggling with November, but I'll just book a holiday.

Yes, it's Easter, gillybob (phew). And it just wouldn't be right to miss that traditional Easter Sunday tipple, would it?

Yes me too. I'm struggling with April at the moment Maggie I wonder if you could help me out?

when does Easter fall in 2016?
