Had a bad day yesterday so 1/3rd bottle of wine drunk 0/15
I really want to move away from using wine as a crutch but I have an impending sense of doom. I don't know why. Maybe it is the time of year.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 !!4 -
Many thanks for adding me to the December list and for all your hard work @cathybird - you are a star ⭐️.
Forgot to post on Thursday so my total for November was 12/10 in the end. Probably won’t make my annual target this year as there’s not much chance on me getting 18 AFD’s in December4 -

Weather and cold - not great. But wine won't change that! 2/30 today please, what will "Drunk-At-The-Front" bring today?Watty1 said:Had a bad day yesterday so 1/3rd bottle of wine drunk 0/15

Forgor to post my total 20 for november, TF for December as it is likely to get messy after.
Nothing to see here, move along.3 -
@Watty1 I actually find wine can make you feel quite low (after the warm buzzy social bit you get right at the start has passed). If I drink too much wine, which I don't often do these days, I quite often get a bit teary as the evening goes on and then generally speaking the next day I feel lethargic and down. So it might actually be the wine? It's just a thought! Some people dread the Christmas period too for one reason or another, family issues, or feeling as though the festivities have somehow passed them by and left them out, or the cost of living. So who knows, but hope it passes xxWatty1 said:Had a bad day yesterday so 1/3rd bottle of wine drunk 0/15
