Morning :hello:

1 AFD for the SNC please Bearacus.

I remembered a conversation on this thread about how alcohol can exacerbate hayfever, so I googled it and I'll be avoiding alcohol while my hayfevers bad. Quite a bit better today, though still not gone. I think it has something to do with the amount of rape seed around at this time of year....

Anyways,

Hi everyone.
Really pleased I stumbled across this thread. Can I join you please?
My alcohol intake isn't helping my purse, my diet or my self esteem!
As there are only 8 days left in April, can I go for 6 AFD please.
Thanks

Chocolate Cupcake. What a great username! You're on the list and good luck.

He said he knew, that the wine would have to stop, and that would save us £300 per month :eek:.

Which is £3600 pa or £36,000 in a decade....:eek: and that is net of tax. You have to earn £4500 to get £3600 at a 20% tax rate or £45,000 in a decade....

or

2 bottles of wine per day is 365,000 calories pa - 2 and a half bottles is 456,250 cals pa....

Makes ya think.

Morning All!!

Thank you Shaggy for your calculations. Obviously I have done the money calcs before but never the calories. It's no wonder he can't fit in to his suit any more. He also gets the munchies late at night so you can also add the calories from a late night sandwich or tin of raviolli to that.

Missrlr - your reaction did make me chuckle. I guess I'm just used to it and it doesn't shock me any more. That total is based on the 3 for £10 deal at least 4 times a week. Some days it is just a pack of beers (£5.00), other days it's wine and beer. So it averages out at £10 a day :eek:
Unfortunately he doesn't seem to understand that money is needed for bills/fuel/food, but he's always been the same. Before we were together he had to sell his house because he couldn't pay the mortgage, but always had money for wine and fags. Makes ya wonder about priorities.

Welcome aboard Chocolatecupcake, and good luck!!

Have a happy tuesday everyone

Oh I am so pleased, I read your first response and thought "oh no I managed to stomp my foot into that one completely unintentionally ARGH!" and was worried I had offended you.

I can understand the 342 and so on deals creeping up into life and becoming habit - that is the aim of the supermercadoes marketing campaign after all!. Seriously though that is on helluva change going to happen both on behaviour and also on spending and in all seriousness I wish you both every scrap of luck and fairy dust.

Back to AFness - well actually it was not last night but it was a planned non-AF night as had dear friend staying. She is also here tonight so it will be Wednesday before I can claim AFness.
