    Hi guys

    Happy new year to you all, you ok helen

    Ive just rounded up my spare cash, didn't bother with the sales due to the awful weather and feeling rubbish. has everyone had the cold virus that just wont go away or just returns after a couple of days. im so fed up of it and now ive got to go back to work tomorrow!! its going to be a long week i think

    ive bagged up my 20p's, added the money from my wage and have £210 to add (£400 total) now

    im not paying extra on my mortgage this year, its only saving me a few pennies each month so im putting it all in my emergency fund with the intention to reassess at the end of the year

    take care

    Happy 2018 everyone!

    I hope everyone is good and off to a flying start... My payments have dropped a lot but only until I can secure some extra work :)

     Amount added = £25
    3-6 Month EF = £2025/£4500

    As soon as I can I will ramp this back up and get filling that EF!!!

    Have a great month everyone :D
    DFD = August 2027 @ £250/month
    Follow your heart & be true to yourself always
    My life is full of abundance and prosperity
    NST Feb: Food & Spends = £216.51 / £290.00 NSD = 1 /15

    Happy new year all!


    #89 I’ve now got £2034.05/£5000

    This is mainly because I’ve paused on my debt repayments as I’m looking to move jobs and would like to have my emergency fully funded or close enough.

    Hi everyone just thought i'd give a quick update currently i have not put any money into the fund however i do plan to do so at the end of the month so if it seems like i update very sporadically it is because of the above reason, i do plan to move approximately £300 at the end of the month but i will give an update then

    EF - £1025/£2000 (51.25%)
    Debt Remaining: £0.00 - Debt Free
