Hi guys.
I disappeared for a while, but I'd like back in. My circumstances have changed somewhat.
I have slipped back into debt slightly due to a large MOT and vet bills etc that had to go on the credit card. I kept the card for emergency reasons, so at least it wasn't be being irresponsible!
I have £700 left to pay back on the card which I wish to do asap. Then I want to save £10,000 for a deposit toward a mortgage. As soon as I reach this target me and my partner will start looking for a house to buy. I have £8231.18 in an ISA at the moment so my new target is £1768.82 please.

Another. £100 into my pot, making a total of £1150. Slowly but surely ....
I do hope things are OK with your family Helen. What a tough time you've had recently, you poor thing. Many thanks, as always, for keeping us all updated and encouraged, despite it all. You're doing brilliantly too! :-)0 -
