Hello everyone. I've been missing in action the last few days due to getting engaged to the beautiful Skint Mum! If you want to be a bit nosey and see the ring you can look here
This was on Friday and although I did set a target of 30 AFDs this month, I need to tell you that I failed! Skint Mum and I shared a bottle of wine on the evening of our engagement. Can you forgive me?
Anyway aside from that I am still declaring 3/30 AFDs up till today and I am determined to not have a drop for the remained of November.Professional Blogger | Money Saver | Money Maker0 -

Of course we can forgive you! What a lovely story and many congratulations to you and the future Mrs (not so) Skint!

Morning :hello:
1 more AFD.
ShaggyxWhat 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.0 -
I am aiming for 25 AFD in November. I have already done 3 so just 22 to go
and I'll put you on the list. Well done on the 3 so far
