    Just had the ISA statements through, well I completely forgot about the money saved in there so it’s rather cheating but we actually have a couple of thousand saved in there now. 
    So I used what was my emergency fund to clear a credit card ❤️❤️

    Incredibly chuffed!

    My EF just took a hit yesterday as paid an other bunch for language recognition for citizenship, will report details back later in the week. But - I was able to do that and still stay over the magic 500 mark.

    Hi sorry I've been AWOL since Xmas the washing machine/dryer died, the hoover, the TV and this month 3 visits to the vet they charged £100 to cremate the rabbit so we could have her Ashe's back (not yet back) then the dog wasn't covered on insurance for ear trouble pre existing conditions!
    Hopefully back on track now!
