Hi folks, just popping in to say a huge well done to you all. Its so lovely to see those funds growing..., or been used, for what they where intended for.
No more to add, as I get paid monthly and next payday is bonus month ....so I'm getting excited as next Monday I will have my £1000, hopefully £2500 so will be moving to the 3 months salary thread (£9000 target)
But, I will still keep popping on here as it's so inspiring and a huge thank you to Patman for running this threadWell Behaved women seldom make history

Payday in 3 days. Will have to see how much the time I had off after my dad's death has had on my hours. Hopefully my boss will allow some of the days to be taken as compasionate leave rather than paid holidays.

Hi,
Feel a bit weird posting here, I got my emergency fund, I received a PPI payment and with the insurance from a car accident I now have a emergency fund of 2000 pounds.
It does feel strange!
