I've earned 1p in interest!!
Found a £5 note yesterday on my way home at midnight. I know this should be added to EF, but we're off on holiday today so it's going towards fun instead. (Not very MSE!)

#288 - not done an update in a while. It's been a very VERY expensive couple of months and the EF has had to be raided more than once. I've been 'back on the wagon' since last week, and now we have £30 in the EF again....nothing in any other savings though which is annoying. I've almost paid off £6k of debts in 12m so I'm taking it as a victory. I've got 1 more week in my current setup for the finances, and then we're moving into phase 2....saving!! I am so super excited and can't wait for next Friday!Changing my Family's Future!! - Starting again!!!!

My neighbour has asked if they could come into my garden to cut
the trees as they've had a complaint, me.. your more than welcome take away whatever you want hopefully I might see some progress, but it's the taking it away that frustrating as I don't drive. The ivy has spread and strangled everything. The moral is keep plodding away, you reap what you sow ��Penny wise pound foolish. 366 days 1p challenge 2020/21/22/23 completed.
