Welcome BettyBoof, you are #115 and are most welcome. If you have read all the way through the thread, then well done on your perseverance and you will now know what we are all about.
Finally got paid for my training today, so that takes me above my target for my regular account.
Will transfer some more money to my EDF on Friday when I have an End of Week total as I still have my WTC to come in and housekeeping to go out.Never Knowingly Understood.

Welcome, BettyBoof:beer:
It's never too late to join this challenge, it doesn't have a set time-limit. It's just a way of building up the pot gradually and, as you'll have spotted if you've read the earlier posts, a lot of us have had to keep using part of our EF for essential emergency costs. Then we try to make it up again, so it's an ongoing challenge.
I think some of us will be here for the long haul, especially me with the way my car and cat (well, his Vet really) are eating money:eek:0 -
