    Sounds like it might be a bad time to go on the dry.... Hope your ankle is better.
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    In the light of double clutch explosion, dry September is postponed until tomorrow.

    Oh no what a nightmare! Weird that they have both gone!!
    Is there a clutch destroying demon in your house somewhere?!
    Why are you having a dry Sept? I have friends that often have dry months but I can't see why they do it (great for me tho as they can be the duty driver on a night out!!)
