Welcome to catralense who is member #245 and Narola1976 who is #246.

Been a busy week this week. Am on holiday, so ordered an 8 yard skip for my mum and spent the last 2days filling it with all the rubbish from the garage, garden, house, summer house and green house.

Only expense this week so far has been 1 reciprocating saw with which to reduce the furniture in the summer house to a size that it would fit flat in the skip.

Anyone care to guess which week we will reach the magic 250 members?.

We are doing really well as a group. Supporting each other as we build our EFs and comisarating when things go wrong.

I reckon we will reach the magic 250 before 1st September.

Please can you add me to this challenge... my first challenge

I am on the road to never again relying on credit to get by... it will be a long journey for me, but I am determined to achieve this goal after having to pay for car repairs this month.

Starting with £10 and will add whenever I can.

Welcome farmeress. You are #247.

Managed to add a few quid to the EF last week, so now above £330.

:hello:Welcome to all the recent joiners of the challenge. Good Luck:beer:


I don't post on here all that often although I read the thread regularly. I've so far managed to maintain my EF at £1000:j and don't plan to add to it (unless it needs replenishing) as my other EF pot is part of another challenge;).


Thankfully there have been no unexpected and expensive nasties recently:j but the cat (who can normally eat for England:eek:) has been off his food for a couple of days and has been sick a few times. I assume he's been catching and eating prey. We live in a very rural area and there are lots of unsuspecting creatures about at this time of year. If he doesn't perk up by tonight it looks like a visit to the Vet and goodness knows how much that will end up costing:(. Let's hope I can afford it without dipping into my £1000 EF which I am guarding with my life now I've managed to build it up;).

Nothing new added to the EF for me at the moment, hoping to start putting a tiny bit in each month if I can. Anything is better than nothing....well done to all the people who have hit £1k!!

Unless 3 people join this challenge today then my prediction was wrong for 250 members - although I'm sure it won't be long before we reach that number.

A big welcome to all new comers

#45 update of my usual SO moving over - new total is £800 aka 80%.

Keep on keeping on everyone.
