13/23 it is getting easier to be AF in the evenings I am finding.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 -
14/24 for me today please.
I find drinking wine with food less appealing these days, despite having many bottles stored under the stairs from our trips to France!3 -
Declaring early please. Had a work dinner last night and I'll be honest, it was pretty difficult to get through without alcohol, but I did it. If I'd wanted a drink i'd have had one, but I didn't. it was a pretty long night though. hope everyone is well 16/28Student loan £5655
