    Morning Campers :D


    Sorry I didn't Update yesterday, it was an exhausting day and one full of anxiety so I just didn't have the heart to come on here....


    BUT, I'm back now and aiming for a Positive Day today!! :D


    Southern-Girl .... Welcome to you!! I have put your name on the First Post and included your Aim of £5000....I know you can do it!!


    Carbootcrazy - No problem for starting the Challenge...I'm so pleased that people are embracing it and joining in...that's wonderful!! :)


    The Only Girl ... Well Done for what you have done so far....you're doing brilliantly...I've Updated Post One.... :)


    Nothing to Report as of yet but I may have a Fiver to put in my HUGE big Pot later on....Just got to get to the Bank first... xXx :)
  • Still not officially declaring any extras to the fund, but another £1.52 found its way into my moneybox tonight so that's good :D

    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.
    :D

    Hugs to you all.

    Hey dubsteppenguin .... good to have you here and Welcome!! I have added you to Post One....Good Luck with the Emergency Fund and do come and let us know how you're getting on :)
  • 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:
  • 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 xXx :)
  • 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) xx
  • 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
