Good Morning all!

Could I join the challenge please?
I'm aiming for £1000.00 in my EF Pot. I am hoping to put £500 in my ISA -so it isn't readily available and i will gain a little interest, then have £500 cash that my parents will hold safe for me.
I put £65.00 in last month but hope to pop £100 in at the end of March

Thank you!

Morning Everyone

Well yesterday was a bad day but hopefully today will be a better day....I just have to keep on going and moving forwards....The good thing is that I think I've finally got my head on straight with regards to my Eating...which is important for me as it has felt out of control for a while...So that is a good thing...That's my positive thing for today....Sometimes it's important to find at least one positive thing for each day....So I'm going to try and do that if I can

So here's for the Updates....Let's all see those Rainbows today....And find the positives... xXx

A small update from me Helen

#2 - £15.83 added so new total now at £8444.02 aka 97.06%

Just as a side note Helen - my signature will no longer contain my running total as I'll need to change it to reflect my Board Guide status as per MSE guidelines. I'll still be popping in, just won't have my target/total in my signature, that's all.

Hi everyone,

A little update to my total:

5. £1730.73 / £4000 (43.27%)

Next month I shouldn't be able to add as much as pensions kick in (hopefully), but we shall see. In other news, I've cracked the screen on my iphone which i think ill have to get sorted eventually so that may also effect my additions next month too. The phone still works fine, it just looks alittle scruffy. Its deciding when to bite the bullet and get it sorted as its around £100 to fix i think :mad::eek:

Best thing to do is buy a screen online (eBay/Amazon) for less than £20 and then get someone IT/technical or just generally good at making/ fixing things to put it on for you. Plenty of how to guides online. Not sure where u work but someone in IT department should be able to do it easily.
I did that for my iPad. Got a screen on Amazon for <£10 and got my hubby who works in IT to replace it. Was quoted £70+ to have a professional replace the screen!
