I need to replace my laptop when I find one I like (the 2 so far have been out of stock when I go to buy, grrr) but am hoping I can make do with an old PC for a while longer and not touch the EF.0 -
Well done to Kim_13 for reaching the target.
My EF is now back over the halfway mark again and I have got my 3-6 month fund above the £100 mark, so well pleased.
New job going well (so far). The company even paid to get the machine manufacturer in to do a days training.Never Knowingly Understood.

Every month that passes I feel grateful that it's still in tact.
Keep at it everyone
