The counting this month is useful. Rather than argh I'm just not managing I'm asking myself why. I need to get through next week (have an operation next week so have been told not to drink for 24 hours beforehand) and then I need to think, for June, about what I have learnt.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
