@oceandreamer thank you, the thread predates me by many a long year though, I only joined in late 2017 and it was run for many years before me by Shaggydoo. It started in 2008 and I think only slowly evolved into its present format. So not sure it was any one person's idea, but you're right, it's helped many people (including me) xxx

Wow cathybird, amazing that this thread started in 2008! Thankyou for taking over the batton for the last 8 years. Yes, I'm sure many people have been helped.
I'll call today early again, so 3/15 for me please.
I successfully swerved the ho ho ho bottles of glugwein in the supermarket yesterday. I blinkin love that stuff! But will give it a miss this year. Noticed that the price seems to have doubled too, so that helped save some spondoolies.5 -
3/20 and I'm going to declare 4/20 as I will not drink tonight as need to be mentally sharp tomorrow.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 -
Declaring early for today on 2/10 please cathybird3
