To be honest I really need two efs one soley for the car.
I have an EF solely for the car, which I don't count in the challenge. It's always the car that ends up costing us money!Don't you mean WHEN we all hit the 1k target Patman
Agreed, it's a case of WHEN Patman, not IF

Still waiting for Pureprofile to credit my account. Also Topcashback as well.
Very annoying as these would add almost £60 to the EF. Must chase-up both of them.Never Knowingly Understood.

I'm up to £167
It's really nice to see a figure in 'savings' - strange, but nice
My worry now is that I won't ever want to touch it because it is so nice to watch it growing :rotfl:DFW Nerd No. 1484 LBM 07/01/15 Debt was £95k :eek: Now debt free and happy :j0 -
Have been unwell so not online for over a week, anyway.... Have been putting bits and pieces into the EF and the total now stands at £111.50!!! I know it doesn't sound much but I've NEVER had any sort of EF. DH doesn't even know about it really (even tho its a joint account he never looks at it). I don't miss a couple of pounds here and the odd £10 on payday! Feeling quite positive about it at the minute.
