    Aw thanks.
    It maybe says more about how I'm feeling than what I have actually done.

    Always late to the parties, even the pity party! But not true at all, you're a dedicated person to all those you support, professionally, personally and on here.

    Squirrell is spot on, she's wiser than an owl, that Squirrell!

    Hump day done, coasting to the weekend and henceforth towards the holidays. Big hugs x

    Once you encouraged us to speak up and challenge - so - ducking - I sometimes think your scores are too low. Your family sounds lovely, you work hard, you are really supportive on here...add a number or two :)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Hello Tilly.
    Well...save money. Tick. To prove we could. Tick. To lose weight. Big quack quack oops.

    We dont drink on schoolnights anyway but when a glass of wine starts to be a dominant thought I think it is time for the test!! We will likely do September.

    Aww Watty. Kind of you.

    Unintended consequences of not drinking are a total recovery from insomnia and weirdly no weight lost.

    The irrational paranoia is still strong!
