Well No 112 sneaking back in, my total is £350, got to do some serious saving the next couple of months. Got so near last year before things went a bit pearshaped. Xx

#35 creeping back into the room with her tail between her legs

No clue how far i got when i first signed up for this but I most definitely do not have 1k in savings anywhere so I am going to try this again.

Desperately need this 1K buffer in my life. I am fed up with being floored by basic life hiccups.

Recently had a flat tyre and a blocked Septic tank. Both have thrown me into a panic its January and I have no money spare for either of these things

Good luck all xx

#46 also creeping back, a big debt to cover but will be adding to this when I’m back on my feet and off the sick bed xx

Thanks #266 well last year I reached 500 pound. But now it's back down to zero.. So onwards and upwards...

Hi all. Patman99 here under his 2nd account. Must admit that my ef is back down below £100.

This is due to losing a job at the end of October and not starting new one until a week before Christmas.

My new job is long term temporary but pays very well.

Not had a good end to the year either, as we lost my mum on NYE after a long battle with COPD.
Am now living in mum's house to look after the dog whilst me and my brother sort out the funeral. Am having both the house and my flat valued in order to see if it is financially viable to buy out his share of the house. My spouse has her jointly inherited house to sell once her brother is released in June.

Meanwhile, life trundles on regardless.
