  • Faff - is this months challenge name - its a bit of a laugh (Fantastic Alcohol Free February Challenge) is great for moneysaving, weightloss and lack of sore heads!

    Keeps me on the straight and narrow - I started reducing my consumption when I tackled my grocery bills hard and noticed how much wine I was buying came as a bit of a shock. Especially as I live alone........So its been fun cutting down and saving those pennies (its paid for trip away). Nice to be scoring and keeping up with everyone - but often confusing!

    AF - love your faffing! :) (albeit different!)

    Just a quickie today

    My main MSE for the day has been persevering with unblocking my washing machine (after an ill-advised doormat laundering - won't do that again) rather than calling out the repair man - am soooo pleased with my little self and it's now running beeyootifully.

    • committed to a NSD
    • Eaten lunch at work so will try not to have anything else this evening
    • Checked all banking, done freebie stuff and made PAD
