Spent the afternoon playing with my squares.
Part One = £2000 so £20 a square. Coloured 6 in today.
Part Two = £6000 so £60 a square. Coloured 2 in today.
:j
Will probably have to wait until January for my next colouring in session but if I have anything spare after credit card payment and holiday in December then it will go to this.
Can't believe that I have never done this square thing before, it's great fun.
Hugs to you all.Mortgage: £0/£80,329.91
Savings: £0/£64000 -
Well I have put in another Fiver
So I'm feeling VERY happy with that....
Hope you are all well on this cold Morning....Take care of yourselves out there!! xXx0 -

It's lovely to see the group growing and everyone so optimistic. I'm really going to enjoy being part of this challenge:j.
Special thanks to you, DreamerHelen, for being so upbeat and cheery every day, you're a real tonic:A
Just popped in to say that I may be able to get my EF started this month (though it won't be with much) instead of having to wait until the New Year. Wonders will never cease;). Am feeling quite giddy at the prospect:rotfl:0 -
Aww carbootcrazy ... that's so sweet hun, thank you!! I'm not always upbeat and cheery but I do my best to stay positive....
It doesn't matter whether you start with a penny or a pound or £100.....I know you can make a start and it WILL build....have faith xXx0 -
Evening all, hope you've all had a good day
Am happy to report a new EF total of £755.96 which is a combination of a Tilly tidy and some money owed to me being repaid
I've recently taken on a 2nd job and managed to get a few extra hours so am hoping to top up the EF again on the 24th (pay day woohoo) xx0 -
Hi all!
Popping in but nothing to report as I've been debt busting again lol!
Had a few bad days where I lost my positivity and just couldn't see the end of my debts but I had a word with myself, got some good vibes from replies to my diary and I'm back on form!
Lovely to see new people joining, it's an important bit of saving I reckon
