    I can't believe how far out I was guessing how soon we would reach 250 members. 54 days out...shocking!

    This challenge is getting more popular, addictive and motivating. :T

    Thanks Patman...that's a really lovely thing to say :)

    I am getting paid in the early hours and off to the Bank at Lunchtime tomorrow so I'm planning on getting another £10 to put in the £1000 Emergency Fund....

    I can't believe how much this Challenge has grown...It's fantastic and has obviously motivated so many people...Patman, you're doing a grand job!! xXx :)

    Hi,

    Can I join too? I currently have 400/1000 so on my way, but with Christmas and a wedding to pay for, it might take more time to get all the way to £1000.

    Thanks,

    Starting afresh.

    You can do anything if you put your mind to it. x
