Sorry for your loss @MissPennySave
17/21 for me today - just realised that I’m not going to make my target this month as there aren’t enough days left in March 🤣 Oh well, I’m only a day off and pleased with the 20 days 👍Books read 2023 - 49/754 -
So sorry to hear your news @MissPennySave. Be kind to yourself and come back when you're ready.🤗4

22/25 please cathybirdFinally got my hummingbird,a bit of a slog to get to my 25 AFD this month,but I hope to scrape through. This month seems to have been a tough one for many of us,but we are still plodding. And remember,every AFD is giving our poor bodies a chance to repair.

Take care @MissPenny Save
23/28 today- Confusing myself trying to keep track of AF days (which is a great problem to have as there are so many!) I'm not sure how much money I have 'saved' as it's been diverted to other things (holidays mostly) but I do know I have only bought 3 bottles of wine this year!!
