    10/25 for me please. It is easy for it to creep up. I felt like having a cheeky drink tonight but realise that if I do that will be my third in 12 days, so not having it :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

    [Deleted User], I've often wondered how much I've saved not buying so much alcohol the past year or so, it's definitely in the high hundreds.

    OMG Cathybird your calculations hit home with me I was going to say it is a sobering though no pun intended! 51k would pay off my mortgage and put DD through uni :eek:Am even more determined now to stay AF

    Day 10 please Baileys thank you :)

    I've no idea how much I spent over the years but it's a jolly good thing I've stopped. OH and I shared a bottle most nights for 20 years and the least we ever paid was £3 in the early days. We often didn't stop at one, either. *ouch* And I smoked, too. No wonder I've got a touch of financial cramp.



    In case you're reading, I hope you're having a lovely time, Maman, and that you have a wonderful time in Canada, Arkers.



    13/30 please, Baileys.
    Better is good enough.
