Welcome debtfreby2020. You are member #273.
I haven't been on here for over a week. This is due to my mum being rushed into hospital (she is home and okay now) and having to house/dog sit. She has no internet, so making it almost impossible to keep up with things.Never Knowingly Understood.

Sorry to hear about your Mum, patman. Great to hear she is home again and on the mend:T
As for being without internet I can really sympathise. It's the bane of my life:mad:. It's really worrying how so much of every aspect of our lives depends on it:(.0 -

Apologies for the absence, decided to have a forum detox in February so didn't post anywhere. Had some good news and received a cheque for £250, I'd overspent on my service charge in my previous property and it was refunded, so added that straight to the emergency fund. I also got paid today so transferred more over, new total is £1382 :j I've never had an emergency fund so this is a huge achievement. I know it will all go as and when the roof repair bill comes in so if it's okay I'd like to remain part of the challenge and keep updating as and when I can.0
