  • Hmm well August is essentially over and I didn't make the target, however I'm still here.... Please can I be out down for 10 again for September and I'll try harder!

    Well done everyone for August, you're all inspirational.

    I may have failed my target of 25 days during August, but I've just about hung on to my sanity, and that's a big achievement.

    One glass of wine at dinner tonight, with two friends of 30+ years standing, much gossip, laughter and many memories. Priceless.

    Put me down for 25 for September, please, and I'll also try harder!
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    Just 1 more for August giving me a grand total of 9.

    Not going to beat myself up about not meeting my target again - onward and upward :) (Had a sh***y, sh***y month due to some work stuff with my DH.)

    Setting my target, yet again, at 16 AFD for September.

    It's my birthday today (47) and I absolutely refuse to be drinking at the level I currently drink when I'm 50 - it just feels so stupid!

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Huge congrats to those who made/beat their target for August.

    Especial congrats to Shaggy who takes the time to tally everything up. (yes, I did mean to type especial - it means extra-special and I have no idea where I first read it, but I like it :))
  • Well done everyone who reached their targets for August :)

    I've just spent a bit of time totting up my finances and realised I'm basically back where I was in January (see signature). I'm setting myself a two month challenge so my 1 November signature will hopefully look much better (bother in terms of debt reduction and weight).

    Having managed a rather poor 8/20 AFD for August, I'm going to set myself the same target for September... but this time I will make it! So, please put me down for 20 for the September challenge please Shaggy!
