22 for me please @cathybird
I bought marksies very low alcohol gin and tonic. The sugar content is low and it is already mixed. Not sure what it looks good, is in a glass bottle, and waiting for a day I feel like a drink...If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

18/10 AFDs please@cathybird.
I've been out and driving so a rare AF Saturday for me. 😁5 -
23/20 Would love to say i feel so much better for this but the cold drags on, as turned into horrible symptoms and all I want to do is curl up under a duvet. Considered a glass of wine last night but opted for an ice cream as throat hurts.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
