Paris in the Spring, what could be nicer? I'm green with envy, Helen, but you deserve the break more than anyone I know after all you've been through. Enjoy every minute:beer:
Sorry I didn't see your post and reply before you left:o but, unlike you, I wasn't up and about in the middle of the night:rotfl:
I agree with you, it's really great to have so many supportive and non-judgemental members:T. Here's to us all:beer:0 -
That's me up to £900 in my fund. Although this will go up and down in the coming months but it's a good start. At some stage I might use it for my debt repayments as I've been stupid recently (see sig) in spending money I don't have...
Well done everyone else.Ex Gambling Addict- Last bet made on 15/03/2017 - 29 Days
Slowly building an emergency fund - £1000/£60000 -
Hi DreamerHelen - hope you have a great time in Paris - lovely city
Things are tight with having changed jobs to less hours and less money - but having extra time and less stress is worth it. I feel lucky to be able to do it.
I've added £30 to my fund taking the total to = £906. Slowly creeping up to that first £1,000
Can you update my total fig. Thanks:staradmin Star from Sue-UU

Morning Everyone
So Paris was AMAZING!! Although it could very easily have ended badly as the local Train that I was on getting back to catch the Eurostar broke down so I had to frantically find a Taxi and get to Gare du Nord...luckily my Taxi Driver drove like the clappers and got me there in time...I even came back with just over 35 Euro's which I'll put towards my next Trip in July....Thank you everyone for your well-wishes...These little Trips help keep me going...
Nothing to Report moneywise for me today....but I'll keep on keeping on....
