still on 7/20 and will have a glass of wine these evening. Am allowing myself some slack as crazy month and have had a few struggles (all survivable just, well, not the time to give up even though I know it will help).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 !!6 -

Well done on getting to 7 @Watty1 - months like this can be difficult - I am in much the same boat - just trying to plod on and have AF days where I can. Determined to stay AF today as last one was Tuesday last week 😱.Watty1 said:still on 7/20 and will have a glass of wine these evening.
