I know it isn’t for everyone and this is possibly a selfish view, but in my corner of the south east we never seem to get enough rain anymore and basically, from April through to late October now the sun just beats down relentlessly for month after month, any remaining patches of greenery around here that haven’t been built on are now just parched and dusty wasteland and everything just looks so dried out and damaged by this prolonged, punishing heat we experience now. It feels like the natural world in particular hasn’t caught up with this new normal and the wild animals are really suffering as a consequence. I’ve been so glad to see a bit of rain this last week, it is desperately needed around here.Appreciate that other parts of the country will have different experiences!Anyway, starting the month with 3/30 thank you v much cathybird.4

@Season_of_Mist Nearly got washed away here in S Essex yesterday!
More to the point, 4 today please. I'm away in Menorca shortly so the target might be a tad optimistic! Still, as I haven't had a drink at all since March 2024, I wouldn't feel too guilty!Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!3 -
Definitely AF today but signed in as AF yesterday then had a 'sod it' day of misery. Not drinking today so still on 3/25 thank you @cathybirdIf 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
Emergency fund 800/1000
Buffer fund 0/100
Debt Free (again) 25/0720253 -
Can I please set a target of 18 for August @cathybird
So far 3/18 please.3 -
Declaring early so will be 3/20 todayMade 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 !!3 -
