  • Hello everyone!

  • Hi all! 2nd post! This is rather exciting, been lurking for too long
    Please can I join?

    We had (2x of us) Lloan-£2000 Nloan-£2000 OD-£600 EF-£600
    Now it is Lloan-£1315/£2000 Nloan-£1315/£2000 OD-£0/£600 EF-£0/£600 that is 50% paid at £52

    We've been doing the square (elephant chunk) charts all year but I'd like to share on here, feels like everyone at work & friends are spend spend spend and we are save save save, which doesn't always feel great but it's for a greater good - DFW - MFW(ish) - NorfolkDuck Dreams

    Today & yesterday I have listed for sale £123 worth BIN on ebsy and applied for a job which is £5,500 more than my current full time job, worth a try and I have started posting on forums :money:and I've used my first Martin :j

    Let's eat this (theoretical) elephant ickle chunk by ickle chunk!
