    Well done everyone who's reached his/her target or are nearly there/!

    I'm making a desperate attempt not to crash and burn as I did in February, so calling in early for today, so 7/14 please Shaggy! Thanks.
  • Everyone sounds like they are doing really well :).

    Had a lovely time in Keswick had some wine with dinner every night but ate so much was unable to finish my 1/2 lager in the pub after! Maybe this is the answer (stuff my face with food!) (actually probably not a great plan).

    Had a couple of beers last night though (well 3), so 2 more AF free days please Shaggywell done on the weight loss :T.
    Crazy clothes challenge 140/180 :)

    Revelation!!!

    I drank wine last night and the children are away this weekend so I thought I would have another wine night tonight, stopped at the shops earlier and bought a couple of bottles of white... Got home, changed into jammies, put the TV on and thought... I don't fancy wine... I DON'T FANCY WINE?!!! WOW! I really don't want it... I am not talking myself out of it or not drinking because I drank yesterday. I am not drinking because I don't want to!!!

    I never, ever thought this day would come!

    So 12/18 for me please Shaggy :)

    19/25, despite a rather nasty argument with she who must be obeyed. Whilst on that subject, she has most certainly not made today an AF one.
    2018 totals:
    Savings £11,200
    Mortgage Overpayments £5,500

    Fruball, the "holy grail" (without any wine in it!) congratulations!

    In the meantime, down here in Strugglesville, please put me down for 8/14 for today, Shaggy. Thanks.

    Oh Alex - that doesn't sound pretty!

    I had wine yesterday and Friday so no more AFDs to add but I declaring for today early - in fact I am going to go for AF for the rest of March as I am really noticing the slippery slope towards everyday drinking!
    Trying to keep in budget.
