Natty's Kicking her Mortgage in the Pants Diary

nattypants

I know! Often I don't even read them - just more of a skim through then chucked into recycling bin the following day......I effectively place £241.80 into my blue bin every year:eek:

So you've just answered your own question then!! Think of the [STRIKE]wine you could buy[/STRIKE] OPs you could make with that money!!

I have been wine (and alcohol) free since late December PP....if I was a normal proper MFW I would have overpaid my mortgage, or at the very least done a tinytillytidy - maybe one day......:o

Hi Natty you are doing really well with the no alcohol/alcohol mission. I have just been away for a couple of nights to Portsmouth (best B&B ever) as it was DH birthday; I was part way through a white wine and soda when :eek: I remembered I had given up! Still, my first fall from the wagon so it could have been much worse.

Oh, and KK are the only donuts I eat! (not very often at all, but local services nearby do sell them )

Wow Natty - you still haven't had a drink, that's amazing - congrats!
How long are doing it for?
I slipped up as I had my birthday so had a few glasses and a bottle of Thai beer!

Hi natty.... going to start making my way through your diary, although I've caught up on the last week (I like to read the ends first, so I'm at least up to date- the history comes later!)

Those are gobsmacking figures re the newspaper etc! I am forever looking at things now and saying "That's £x over a year" and it soon makes me put my purse away!

Good work on the no drinking thing. I always think I'd like to give up the booze, but it's about the only thing I also have no desire to give up. I will just admire people like you instead!

Iona and lula - Birthdays/Christmas/end of Lent/start of holidays/end of holidays/partners birthdays/friends birthdays/dogs birthdays/stressful weeks/celebratory weeks are all acceptable with regards to drinking, so you're off the hook:beer:
