  • FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

    Just a little question about your suggestion if that's ok my dear!

    Mine is £1.85 per day from £5.99 and £6.99 for 2 bottles of wine per weekend (maximum level drunk and spent, often less amount and total)

    Pledge 21 days AF for Oct and 10 drinking days maximum

    So is it

    £1.85 x 21 = £38.94 :confused: (x21 AFD) :confused:

    OR

    £1.85 x 10 = £18.50 :confused: (x10 drinking days) :confused:

    Thanks :D

  • Ok

    I was thinking - we log the savings IE how much NOT spent on alcohol

    So I guess its - £1.85 for everyday you don't drink?
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:
    minus 112.06 = £7755.32:money:

  • Thanks Fay Super Mega Prepared for Oct Scorer!

    £1.85 per day for each day not drunk on it is

    A new month starts on Thursday and I will shake off these maudlin thoughts that have plauged me for a month or two.

    Shiny new start to a shiny new month which is my month out of the year!

    I think I will need it - those I have forgotten - sorry just shout at me :) - those who want savings added up please tell me your daily spend on Alcohol before we all saw the light - and those who want added just let me know :) also those who don't its also very cool

    I just want to think about how much money we save when we don't drink as an added incentive
    PS don't be put off if you want it just normal :) - I'm easy :)

    *And everyone gets a gold star for each AFD in October *
