    Welcome on board.

    Must remember to update my sig as I transferred some money across to the EF but have yet to log it.

    Have been busy looking at tablets with WiFi and 3/4G so I can [STRIKE]do surveys[/STRIKE] job-hunt out of the house.

    Have decided to look for a Lenovo Yoga as they seem to be well-built & have a kick-stand built-in.

    Hello,

    Would I possibly be able to join? I aim to have £1000 by this time next year due to being on a maternity contract. Currently I'm looking for something permanent, so this target could fluctuate because of that (upwards rather than downwards if i get something permanent with a better wage) but ill start off with that aim :)

    Thanks, Sophie

  • Thank you for my number! I currently have £518 of the £1000 saved, however I'll need to use it for Tax and Insurance, so it will definitely go down a little!
