    I've been Money Tipped!
    I'd like to join please.

    I've already made a start by cashing in Toocashback earnings and Natwest Rewards cash.

    Will update with totals.

    I'm a big Dave Ramsey Fan. His method works. I was almost debt free a couple of years ago but fell off the wagon.

    Hi there

    I'm sure I joined this challenge before but failed miserably, any chance of joining again?

    I'm starting my emergency fund when I get paid on Friday.

    Thanks. :D
    If you know you have enough, you're rich. ;)

    Ani*fan, you had not joined before.

    Dehumidifier has packed up, so will be spending some of my EF replacing it.

    Yesterday I cleared the small debt I had accrued earlier this year, so to celebrate I sent £5 to my emergency fund :T my plan is to keep on sending regular monthly amounts to the EF but also to send small payments as and when I can to help get to that £1,000 mark a bit quicker. Have been paid but haven't moved the money anywhere yet, will update as and when I get round to it and top up the EF further.
  • #252 halfway to my target with an EF of £500 now. x
    September 2017 Debt = £25330

    Starting afresh.

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