11/20 @doingitanyway nice ideas. I switched to those tiny one third bottles which although expensive stopped me drinking half a bottle or a full bottle each evening.
Also finding an a/f drink low in sugar is hard. I've been looking. Water kefir is my next try (in my online shopping basket).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 -
