Welcome to our two newest members.
Mrs motivated you are #146 and 12 month challenge, you are #147.
Payday in the Patman household today as well. After 3 whole months am now getting into the swing of monthly pay as opposed to weekly.
Multi-tasking tonight. Updating this thread whilst trying to sort out a wormate's PC. It hadn't been turned-on since 2012 and when I did, it just kept blue screening.
Had to restore it as far back as I could, now just sticking all the updates back on.Never Knowingly Understood.

Evening all,
Getting impatient, had an email to say application for online ISA approved yesterday morning. Still nothing showing on my online banking. I'm waiting to put the £60 into it. How long does it take really, once they've decided you can have the account???
Oh well suppose all I can do is wait,

Thanks LMD, in that case will probably be early next week. My DD's was instant but that was with a different bank and the account pays less interest. I just need to wait. I've always been impatient lol

#60 update-£977.93/£1000
Emergency fund took a hit this month due to overspending on my part and then not getting paid on time, double whammy!
So I have topped it back up as much as i can with money from my wage and I'm also looking to sell a few things on eBay! hopefully this will get me back on track with a full emergency fund and then ill continue to add to my 3-6 month EF that i had already started.
