    3/21 and declaring early tonight so I  stick with it at 4/21

    @cathybird I have not commented on layout as I really think you should do whatever is easiest for you.  You put so much hard work into this thread and a lot of us appreciate that I'm sure - I know I have - and so I would say you go for whatever one works for you.  
    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 !!

      I'm going to try really hard this year to only drink when it's planned rather than getting the bottle of stress reducing wine on the way home from work.  Not actually back at work yet and feel this might be easier said than done but I am going to try to go for a run or a walk when I get in instead.
    The stress reducing wine is my achilles heel too.  I work from home and often work late.  Something that got me through December was just going to bed early and finding a series to watch on Nflix

    I asked on the welcome to the new forum thread whether anything was happening with the pics issue (the one in September that meant we had to start using the grey quote boxes). I was told back in September that someone was looking into it. It seems not because I gather from the response that some at least feel that we should just accept it. However, I have pushed back because it seems to me that the emojis are the really motivating thing about this challenge so they are important. If anyone wants to comment on that thread I would welcome it ... at least it would show it's not just me! :neutral:

    4/30 for me today please. I'm still coughing like billie-oh, which is exhausting, and makes sleeping elusive.
    Took our new self-charging hybrid car for a short drive to get a feel for driving an automatic - I'll get used to it, but it's very odd right now. The great thing is, DH is actually willing to drive it. 
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    2/20 please. I was at our work Xmas do last night so of course that involved more drinking.  Looking forward to having a strong month once I get some other social commitments out of the way this weekend.

    Happy new year everyone! I'm not off the starting blocks yet.

    Cathybird, I've posted on the above thread too so it's not just you! Thank you ever so much for battling this for so long, until there is a fix or any help I agree with many of the others and suggest you do whichever layout is least painful.
