Stepping out of the challenge for April. I got a bit lost. Am mostly AF days now but counting got lost.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 !!7 -
@Watty1 if you were mostly AF can you perhaps remember or add up roughly how many days/occasions you drank, rather than the days you didn't? Just a thought. I only have a drink when I'm out with friends so it's easy to add up. xxWatty1 said:Stepping out of the challenge for April. I got a bit lost. Am mostly AF days now but counting got lost.5 -

25/28 for me today please.
I'm exhausted from taking my sister's dog for two walks today. He is strong and pulls. My dog is much calmer, but together they give me a good workout. I usually do just the mid-morning walk, but sis fell in the kitchen whilst I was dog-walking. She has bruised her hands and her "good" foot. She had an emergency back op last year and never got full mobility back afterwards. So it looks like I'll be doing two walks tomorrow. Sunday is a day off, as her son is around. He does the early morning and last walks.What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?7 -

A nice idea but it is the drinking at home that I'm working on so a bit random. I'm mostly AF these days and the days of a bottle an evening are now gone - but - as it is the home evenings I want eventually to eliminate I'm going to honestly say I've no idea. (had some wine last night but didn't finish the bottle, and, shared it with someone, so I think that was a win although I'll finish it this evening).cathybird said:
