    Season of Mist, would be great if you could come up with a rough figure? I want to add up what everyone used to spend on booze so we can arrive at an idea of how much we're all saving.
    I should add I'm sure I've added it up on this thread before re my savings/drinking, just not for a hell of a long time and I'd forgotten how it used to be. I'm grateful it's not like that any longer!

    Declaring early too at 10/21 please. 
    Thinking of the cost of alcohol I think that's hard because like Maman I did try to buy wine on offer so around £140 a month but actually higher than that including drinks before wine so closer to £180 I think. 
    And that's not counting snacks which were eaten after drinking!

  • Hello everyone, 8/20 for me today. Declaring early as it’s Monday, and I’ve had a few drinks over the weekend to celebrate my birthday. 

    Think I might find this week more difficult tho - found out on Saturday that my 9 year old has to isolate at home until the 21st October as another child in his class has tested positive. Having to do home schooling again is making me want to crack open a bottle (or two!) 🤪🙈
