4/10 for today please Cathybird.
It turns out my OH hasn't just temporarily removed it from the fridge, he drank it all while I was staying away in my caring role. I felt surprisingly annoyed at this last night. I am declaring early for tonight again so there is a definite upside I can see this morning.https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6621582/ynab-robber-needs-help-to-execute-the-plan/p1

13/21 I have honestly declared last night as a drinking day because alcohol was consumed but it was about an inch and a half of fizz in a fizz glass at book club and then I drank a cup of tea. We were toasting and all generally happy so I did not want to miss that so I drank but in a very controlled way rather than my usual beg a lift so I could drink half or more of a bottle. I am cheerful as that could easily have been a no drinking night really but I've counted it for honesty and accountability
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 -
