27 for me please. I would like to stick with my 20 per month and 300 for the year targets. It wasn't a conscious choice to go totally AF but it has been an eye opener to see the difference not drinking at home makes to my finances and general well being when I was under significant stress.
ETA Thank you everyone for the support this thread gives, and especially to Cathybird for keeping the scores on the doors.My mortgage free diary: +++ Divide by Cucumber Error. Please reinstall universe and reboot+++
