    I did eventually get £1000 but I needed repairs to the house.
    However felt somewhat accomplished in reaching the goal. Back to square one!

  • Morning. I’m really new here to the forums. Please can I be added? I’m starting at £0 for an emergency fund, but first I need to pay off my credit cards and close them down
