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:

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:0 -

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???0 -
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 20170 -
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!Start info Dec11 :eek:
