    Well done stupotstu!!!:T You should feel very proud of yourself - trust me, I know how bloody loud those alcohol bells can ring sometimes!!

    Mrs R- very jammy on the reductions!:rotfl:

    Just done shopping. Its our poor week (CSA payment goes out this week!!:eek:) so on a very limited budget. Can't believe how things are getting more and more expensive every week! I do like to make sure Piglet has fresh fruit etc for his lunchboxes and all that type of thing is so expensive (especially apples:eek:) :( Still, at least being on a budget stopped me buying wine!!:rotfl:

    As a customer, 3pm on a sunday afternoon or about 8.30pm on a week day is the best time to get the bargains. But you have to be prepared to elbow people out of the way :rotfl:

    Thanks for that!!! One of my favourite hobbies :j

    4 AFDs please, Shaggy - my first AF Friday for a while, I had got out of the habit.

    Going to see Happy Mondays in Mcr tomorrow night - not quite my cup of tea, but my sister suggested it and it should be fun going there with Mr Pricey, my sister and her DH :cool:

    Another alcohol free weekend for me, even though my beloved Liverpool FC are playing in the FA Cup Final tomorrow night.

    YNWA and remember the Hillsborough 96

    (Oh and I am season ticket holder, who lives just outside Liverpool but couldnt afford a ticket !).

    Hello everyone, can I come back and join you here? I've been off MSE for a while and in the meantime my alcohol consumption has drifted up and I'm back to nightly wine.
    So, I need to climb back up on the wagon and join you lovely folk here and get a few AFDs in.

    *settles down on the comfy chair, appreciating the old and new faces*
    Trying to keep in budget.

    Great to see you back gien. As you can see I keep checking in otherwise I know I'd be back to nightly wine very easily. I'm not planning AFness over the weekend, but come Tuesday I'll be back on the wagon. Join me???
  • Hi All,
    Thursday was AF for me so:
    Shaggy - 1 AF (3/23)
    Bearacus - 1 SNC (all 5 cupcake specials! yeay!!!)

    Had a stressful day at work yesterday and fell into a box of wine last night - hence being up very early this morning and not feeling too good!
    Wine definitely doesn't make things feel any better!!!
    Aiming to stay on gingerbeer tonight. :-)
    Hope everyone has a good weekend.
    Debt Free Date: November 2017

    well not been AF since Wed but planned as a weekend of people visiting and celebrations. Only had 2 pub small (so properly measured not the home slosh variety) glass vino Thurs and last night. Was up bright and early on both mornings, so pleased I had found the stop button. Won't be drinking a huge amount today as had a large and unexpected bill for car which has wiped out the savings towards debt busting so a but naffed off about that. But better than a credit card payment I suppose!
