@maman wishing you a lovely holiday
10/20 please. A first for me, I had a really stressful day, I did not think about buying a bottle of wine, but, instead booked a work call for the evening to clear something that needed doing. so 10/20 but really proud of evening
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 -
6/20 today please @cathybird - thank you.5

10/10 please for yesterday Wednesday.Thank you @r@redofromstart - hope that works as I can’t seem to get rid of the first @r! We were away a lot in March, April and May and I am dreadful at getting back to normal service after a holiday. I’ve usually so enjoyed the wine every night and nibbles that I just continue. Piles on weight as well as far too much alcohol so must try harder when we go away in September!4

One thing that really shakes my keys, so to speak, is food waste. Anyway, back on track 12 for me today, please,Jellybaby said:Fabulous 👏 @Watty1
12 for me please. I never thought fizzy (or should I say sparkling 😁) water would be my new tipple. And if I really want to push the boat out I add some posh cordial! (Mother was chucking it out and being MSE and all……..)Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!6 -
Well done 👏 @Watty1
12/28 for me today please. I added some not very posh cordial to my fizzy (oops, sparkling) water tonight.
Has anyone tried the Fevertree Tonic with Clementine - it's gorgeous. A definite treat.What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?6 -
