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!)
