    Morning all! I was dreaming of all the saved money from AFDs last night! It was piling up and I was wondering what to do with it all! Fancy a trip on the overnight train to Scotland methinks... being rocked to sleep and then waking up, peeking out the window to look at the lovely scenery!
    Anyway, that's one more please YM - 27.
    thank you and have a good day everyone.
    Sick and tired of waking up sick and tired...

    Just to pop in to say hello! DD still sleepig, she was so hot last night so decided not to even try to go to school/work today. So hopefully will get lots done at home instead. This means that I won't be able to go to bank which means I won't be able to go to the shop which means that the house will stay AF for one more day and then there is only one day to go. :j
    "Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end."

  • YM sorry to be a nuisance - I am pretty sure I have been AF since you changed my target so I think I am on 20 - my fault for not updating.....away back to check dates and calender here...................

    Honest injun. :)

    By the way this is amazing.....well done for keeping tabs on it

    Days pledged.........742
    Actual...................567
    = 76.41%
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:

  • Hi everyone, I've been just rubbish lately so:-
    YM - still on 22/30 :o

    fayjmck - I really like your idea of the money saving totals. I reckon I spend about £6 per day so can you please put me down for that.

    Have a good day everyone and I can highly recommend The Time traveller's wife - a very good read!
