    In October I wish to set a target of 21 days.
    2018 totals:
    Savings £11,200
    Mortgage Overpayments £5,500

    Well done Satchmo!

    Alex, that's stealth overtaking!! Have a good day everyone. I'm planning to start October strongly with an AFD today.

    Another AFD for me yesterday, so that takes me to target - 18/18 please Shaggy! :j

    I've also been reading the "Tired of thinking about drinking" blog. I haven't got involved as yet, just enjoying reading it and the supportive comments. It's very inspirational I have to say!

    Here's to a dry October....bring it on! :cool:

    Well done to everyone for last month! :)

    A scary piece in one of yesterday's newspapers reported that on average a person spends £55k on booze in their lifetime... £55,000 blimey


    Just think of the money we're not spending by giving up/cutting down!
