    53 days is wonderful - well done you!

    Sorry to hear about the wifi, I hope it gets sorted.

    Nearly 2 weeks without WiFi - I'm raging.
    Up to day 58 now and I have absolutely no desire to gamble.
    Money situation is a bit all over the place recently since me and the Mrs had our weekend away. I've purchased a few things so I need to sit down and see how much I have in the emergency fund.
    How is everyone else?

    Hello! I do feel for you without wifi - nightmare! Did you enjoy the weekend away?

    I'm okay thanks - feeling very grownup having switched energy providers, but other than that all is normal.

    You are close on 2 months now, brilliant! Be proud of yourself. :)
