    Well done, JimmyC. Keep up the good work. Have you got any other support?

    Thanks everyone for your support. I'm going it alone but I do have backup if I need it, like adaction or doctors. 3rd day today and first day at work since taking this big first step - it's going alright :) made a packed lunch this morning, the sun is out, works going smoothly, and I've just knocked my car insurance renewal down by £200! Happy days.

    Well done to everyone else starting out and/or continuing to meet their targets!

    Not an AFD yesterday as I met up with my bestie who has moved back to the UK after 7 years living abroad so had one glass of wine with her, but today is AF, so... 6/24 for me. Early call but no alcohol tonight :D

    Had to edit - can't count! Doing better than I thought...
