Great news, well done:T:j:beer:


I didn't think it would be long before you found a new job, you always bounce back from whatever life throws at you:beer:

Welcome to our two new members, Flutterby29 who is #281 and Stayathomemum36, who is #282.


CBC - An Agency I had not heard of before saw my profile on Linkedin and offered me a job as a construction site handyman. I never told them I hadn't done that before, however, it is really basic stuff like boxing in pipework and filling holes which I am good at.


The rate of pay is amazing and the site is only 1.5 miles from my front door. The best bit is I finish at 16:00 hours every day.

Hi all,

Coming back with my tail between my legs as due to some unexpected emergencies this month my emergency fund is completely gone and I'm also bsck in debt. Got a plan to tackle both over the next few months, will report back in the new year. Merry Christmas all!

Hi could I join the challenge please? I’ve come to the conclusion that the lack of emergency fund is the route cause of my financial issues as I’m constantly fire fighting! Be good to have this thread to help my motivation

Starting again, I've tried so many times but have always failed as i 'crack' and spend it.
but with myself getting married this year and wanting to start a family about a year or so after,
I really do want to try and save some money towards an emergency.

I don't have to worry too much as my other half earns A LOT but still it's not just down to him.


I've moved £50.00 into my empty santander account which will be used for Emergency fund.
£20 was saved through "Save the change" lloyds account. the rest was transferred .
