    Quality control, Dizzy. Not the same thing as tucking into a bottle of red.

    3/10 please, Shaggy.
    Better is good enough.

    Had to taste-test my Christmas liqueur "potions" to ensure correct levels of sweetness (honest!), so can't claim an AFD but only half a teaspoon each of four flavours, so about half a single measure in all? Now bottled up, hidden from DH and DS until the festive season :j

    Ah I'm not sure that counts Dizzy, it was necessary and unavoidable! :rotfl:

    After having said I would do an AFD yesterday I have to confess I then didn't, and have also (already) not done one for today - am a bit irked with myself as I have to get all the AFDs pretty much out of the way by the last week of Oct as am going on hols, plus my birthday is coming up and I'm not doing an AFD for that. So I have to focus and do five days each week for the next three weeks. Grrrrrr!!! :mad: It's doable but I should be trying harder.
  • 3/31 for me please
    Debt @ Sept '16 = £51804 Oct '16= £51,095 1.37% paid off
    Oct grocery challenge = £229.05/£250
    Oct AFD challenge = 20/31
    Oct NSD = 13/18

    What goes around comes around.....I hope!
