Still on 13/26 as had a small shandy last night. Only one but still, it wasn’t planned. I’m flying to London tomorrow for an engagement party… that will be a real test. I have a strategy and have planned out exactly what I’ll be drinking - the peer pressure will be strong as these are friends i only see once or twice a year (I live in Madrid). I don’t know why that makes it harder not to drink… silly isn’t it?Student loan £5655

It is Friday so won't declare early in case!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 !!5 -

1 for yesterday and AF tonight. I blame the sun, cold cornish cider that I discovered on a seaside holiday and myself.
