24/24 please Cathybird. Having a target on here has really helped me this month as I was determined not to spoil it despite a bit of a shaky start to the month. Thanks for doing this Cathybird, it is so kind of you to help us all out.2

Can someone advise what these numbers mean, for the hard of thinking.🤔
Anyway, I had a dry January followed by 8 months alcohol free except, some wine in March on holiday and one glass of Champagne the morning of my daughter’s wedding in July. I would never have believed I would have maintained this alcohol free journey I have been on.
Not saying I will never have another drink, but cannot see it at present.
0% McGuigans red wine is drinkable
0% Gin and Tonic is drinkable
0% Heineken and Peroni is as good as the alcoholic version.
Mortgage free
Vocational freedom has arrived2 -
24/20 there is some wine open in the fridge that I will share tonight with a friend (just half a bottle) so only a glass and a bit each but not A/F tonight. Made my target.
Happy with 20 for OctoberMade 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 !!2
