    Hi all, after a holiday blip that has lasted a couple of months and experiencing guilt each morning that I receive an email alert from this thread, I'm ready to get back in the saddle!

    I have been missing for a long time as well, but need to get back on the wagon :rotfl:

    This may sound a silly question but how do you get e mail alerts from this thread, that may just be in motivation that I need ??

    Thanks

  • Hello everyone

    This morning I was looking for a paper clip and found £1.58 in change which went into my pink pots. I have 4 pots in which there are coin bags and I put change into them once bags are full I pay them into my Treats fund. This is in a bank I have to go out of my way to get to, so money stays there longer.

    RBS £2,043.50 @0% until April 2014
    Virgin £2,522.78 @ 0% until November 2015
    Total Debt £4,566.28
    SPC 7 315. Emergency Fund 300/1000.

    Hiya, go to 'Thread tools' on the green bar above, and select 'subscribe'. You can then tell it how often you want to receive emails. I do one a day.

    Hope that helps!

    PS; glad you're back on the wagon too :)

    Happy Saturday guys.
    Thanks for the advice about the RAC, Lancashire Lassie and Betty. Funnily enough, had some blurb from the AA offering a deal so will give them a call and go into battle! Determined to get a better offer from somewhere. 17-year old son now driving so need some cover for him.
    Have found me a tin so will be popping in all spare cash and doing a total soon and updating my signature as October amount is sadly lacking...!
    Nice to have new gang-members and welcome back to others.
    Have a good weekend everyone. Keep rattling those tins..!

  • Hi everyone, it's good to read you are all still doing so well. I've been missing for a few weeks feeling a bit sorry for myself because of this awful predicament I'm in. But feeling sorry for myself won't get me out of the mess so it's head down and back on to it. Having said all that though I've only managed a paltry £2.21 extra this week (so far). Still, every little helps.
