Yesterday evening made it 21/20 I did briefly thing it was the end of the weekend and blah de blah but went to bed early insteadMade 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 !!8 -
Morning, 28 days for me please. Almost three whole months AF 😁
i think for August I’m going to go with 28 please. I have a couple of events coming up that, at the moment, I’m not intending to drink at but want to keep it flexible in case I change my mind. I want to prove to myself I’m in control and can stop after one. This is my problem area with alcohol. I used to get so caught up enjoying myself that I’d ignore the number of wines or gins I’d downed and end up a mess. My head’s in a different place now so we’ll see how it goes!
