Hello @cathybird , is it possible you can change me to TF for this month please? As a few impromptu fun events have popped up which may include a 🥂.
Plus I didn't factor in the BIG birthday bash for my DSister....and the fact that there's only 28 days in February!
Thankyou😁

1 so far!! Will try again in the coming week. But in general I've cut down so I'm pleased with that.

That's great news Brie!👏
Not an AF day for me today so still on 10 please lovely cathybird.
But DEFINATELY cutting down on the amount, which I'm very pleased with indeed.
This thread really does what it says on the tin, after all, it is a "Cutting down" thread 😆.

14/25 for me today please.
Parkrun was icy, so the route had to be modified to avoid falls. I decided to wear black fleece-lined leggings rather than the cotton pj bottoms, but the pj's are lovely so I'm pleased with buying them.
What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?3 -
12/24 today please Cathybird. Vanlady, it does make a massive difference having three less days this month, there's much less wriggle room.
