Good afternoon Each and Every, it's a Magnificent Seven for me this month, I'm not sure I'll reach my target as I'll be away in Menorca for a few days and the only time I ever drink now is when I'm abroad, I've not had a drink for eighteen months now. Unless you include half a tub of Bailey's ice cream, I really don't think that would be a problem!

7/30 for me as well please cathybird - and thank you. I’d like to make it through September as another complete alcohol free month. There are a couple of social things on the horizon and I’m going away with work as well, but I’d like to think I can resist.4

Sun evening treat was pentire costal spritz with tonic water. That was so good I did not miss the wine. Now, it might be expensive but as the goal is to get off the wine, it might be worth buying again.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 !!4
