15/18 for me today please.
I'm thinking I'll increase my target by 1 day each month and see where I settle, because I was missing target too often previously and it was disheartening - and let to what the heck thinking, which is just wrong!What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?6 -
15/16 for yesterday, please.5

Been MIA, just lots on with kids/work at the min but have managed to keep midweek AF
Collecting DH and DD around midnight later so will hit 15/14 today please @cathybird
On holiday next week so will set my target at 14 again for June please6 -
21/21 as declaring early for tonight.
I've made my target and I've cut down a lot when i do drink and might switch wine for something less alcoholic like a bottle of beer in the garden at the end of a long day instead of a bottle of wine.
Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!6 -
