Getting FIREd up 😀

I was having the same problems as you @ruby_eskimo thanks for the tip about using the computer, it didn't even dawn on me 🤦

I feel as if I've let us all down as I am only #10 buyer of garlic paste, I surprised really as DD uses a huge amount of the stuff, I'd of thought my ranking would have been higher.

Current balances: 

£3,471.71 due March 25
£10,580.75 due April 25
£12,163.12 due July 25
£5,050.94 due Jan 26
£10,038.60 due March 26

So it's this spring/summer which is the real pinch point. Once I'm past that, I will feel a lot more relaxed 🤞

Glad you have a workable plan, and mkts have helped. That much owed and the transfers would stress me out but you clearly have a plan.

We do it every year, it's the highlight of our January 🤣!

Card balances are looking better since the ISA matured and I paid a load off. Still a LOT, but I'm kind of at peace now that I have done as much as I can and what will be will be 🤷‍♀️

Muesli (home-made, natch) is not really passing muster as a Friday night "Well done, you made it through the week" Dry January alcohol substitute 🤔 I have just been choking on some oats that had gone down the back of my throat. 

I have never choked on Asti.

I’m not sure muesli is a replacement for alcohol… you might have better luck with a ‘nice’ non-alcoholic drink?! Definitely less risk of choking!

South_coast

I'm never sure what to have though 🤷‍♀️? And "alcohol free" drinks offend me by being almost as expensive as the real thing (MSE to the core, me 🤣). It was good for the sweet treat I was after, as it has sultanas in, just a shame about the choking!

I like Nozecco, although I will admit it's quite sweet.

There’s always fancy hot chocolate SC…though not exactly a cheap option either. What about kombucha? I used to drink that out of a wine glass when I wanted to feel like I was having a drink. I used to be a red wine drinker but never found any of the alcohol free red wines to work, they were always too sweet

South_coast

Ah, hot chocolate has been culled under the "No UPF" banner, I'm afraid! Shame, as I could really have done with the warmth in the office this last week (I don't like tea or coffee) 🙄 Never really been sure what kombucha is, in my head it's something fermented, but then the only other fermented thing I can think of is sauerkraut, and I know I don't like that 🤔 (and nor is it a liquid)!

I'm not sure it's really a drink that's needed, as I'm not thirsty. It's more a relaxation thing, I think. Anyway, only another 21 days to go and I can at least have a drink at the weekend. Wish all this good living was reflecting on the scales in the meantime though 🤦‍♀️!

I know the wee one likes yoghurt but this is ridiculous 🤣
