    Nice one. They do say good things come to those who wait.

    Must get on and bring YNAB up to date as I haven't added anything to it for a couple of months now.

    Difficult few months in every way so ef used and then was on back burner. Things have improved so starting out again with £100 into saving account. Have budgeted for Christmas so working both Xmas and New year will bring in some needed double time in mid Jan paypacket which hopefully..fingers crossed can go into ef.
    Anyways Happy Xmas everyone.:xmastree::xmassign:

    Yes CBC, I believe they still do send out the renewal including an option to pay for 12 months or 6 months as a one off payment or monthly by DD too.

    Renewal arrives in post.

    I got my road tax last year on 1st day online.

    Had to revert to post this year for 50% rate due to m.s.

    Just popping in to catch up with how everyone's doing. I've nothing to report at the minute but once I've found time to speak with OH about our plans for next year I might be able to add something to the pot.

    Got my car renewal this morning, can't be bothered searching a new provider.

    Considering it would be 26.00 charge to change from existing provider, I'll stay with e-sure.

    45 p/month, saving 1 pound p/month 2016 -No payment December -£46 to transfer to savings challenge from 28th December.
