    Hi all,

    I have an extra £59.35 to add to the pot from ebay (after fees etc) so my new total stands at £81.36. I am actually so pleased with that it's unreal.

    Thank you to everyone who posts on here, i am not much of a conversationalist but i do get a lot from everyone's posts. We are all chipping away together.

    Have a lovely day :)

    Hi Folks,


    Its good to see everyone doing so well....so a big fat whoop whoop to you all. :beer:


    I have been playing with spread sheets for the last couple of weeks (my new addiction) and cant wait for payday so I can get some serious money in my EF . I get a bonus in the end of Novembers wages, usually about £1000 which pays for Christmas.....however, I have sorted most of Christmas out so I am hoping on adding about £500 to my emergency fund.


    I don't want to wish my life away or anything...but cant wait to make that bank transfer and update my signature.


    Keep up the good work lovelies! :T

    Now at £83.68. Seems to be growing quickly despite adding relatively small amounts. Not long until I have enough to replace some household items if they break.

    Good times

    Rounded down the CA for £2.97 after chucking paypal money in it.

    Also the family are finally paying back money they owe in regular instalments rather than just when I need extra cash. £50 a week when they can spare it, so popped half of it in the EF.

    Hi all
    Only managed a measly 68p today

    However I did have £3.08 from rounding down accounts but decided to pay this cheeky little amount to my CC.
    SP 9#531=£620/SP 10 # 531=?PDBX 2016 #2 = £16,766.67/£12,000
    PDBX 2017 #2 = £1,200/£12,000
