    🤣 Sounds like a good plan. Well done on being debt free however you decide to celebrate. 

    Well done on getting to target lantanna. You've done well to stick to AF Sundays. 😊

    Back on the wagon today and really hopeful of getting my 14 day smiley this week.

    11/10 AFDs please Cathy

    Since late July I've imbibed more alcohol from the smell of hand sanitiser than from a glass!!
    Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!

    Thanks people, I actually enjoy an AF Sunday now and feel the benefits of a non hungover Monday in work.  Some of the hand sanitisers are really awful. I tend to carry my own and use it instead.
  • Sunday and Monday to add to the list so now 6/8.
    I went out sunday morning and fixed the problem on the car that I spend all saturday afternoon trying to fix in 10 minutes, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
    Nothing to see here, move along.
