Giving up/ Cutting Down Alcohol Thread Part 16
Comments
-
Well thought I had already posted but can't see it (senior moment?) but 10/20 please and can I try for 14 for December please Shaggy? I'm actually hoping to do better than this but 14 would give me two of those fabulous smileys and I'd be very happy - shallow - moi??
Have a good weekend all and enjoy the start of Advent too.0 -
Good luck with whatever you decide cathy. It's a good problem to have.;) Unless you have an unexpected invitation or just fancy a drink tomorrow I think I'd take the mse option.:money: That way you've saved yourself some money to offset against December spending (and drinking).

That was good advice, maman, but it was a beautiful sunny day, if rather chilly, and I ended up taking myself out for a couple of drinks at lunchtime. It wasn't too expensive and it was rather nice. I did find out before I went that work is chipping in some money to our work do this year so that made December look that little bit cheaper! It's interesting though, as time goes on and I keep posting on the thread, I feel I'm gradually losing interest in alcohol. Which has to be a good thing. So tomorrow definitely an AFD for me.

Hi Cathybird,
I'm on 86/150 please. Thank you very much for scoring!
Shaggy, please can I have a target of 14 in December. That will be 100 days this year at least. (My secret hope is to get to 107 and beat my last 3 years.)https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6621582/ynab-robber-needs-help-to-execute-the-plan/p1
