    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 👍

    22/25 please cathybird
    Finally 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. :)

    @MissPennySave, so sorry to hear about your loss, especially if it was sudden, that must have been a shock. I agree with maman, be kind to yourself xx

    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!!
