    Hi everyone, DH can you update my total to £213 please.

    I now have 4 working days covered. Just another 56 to go.

    I will admit to concentrating on my EF a bit more as it is the one that takes the most hammering at the moment.
    Never Knowingly Understood.

    Member #1 of £1,000 challenge - £13.74/ £1000 (that's 1.374%)

    3-6 month EF £0/£3600 (that's 0 days worth)

    Paid myself first, so another £20 added to my EF. So £570 now.
    Slowly.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Morning Everyone... :)

    Things have got significantly better for me....Which is good....So I'm pleased about that....

    I've finally gotten Registered as a Therapist....which has been a long-time coming....so I'm pleased about that....But it did mean that I had to empty my Emergency Fund to pay for the Fees....so I'll be paying for that very soon and it's in my Bank at the moment waiting for that....

    I feel bad that I had to empty my EF....But, that IS what it's meant for so I can't complain about that at all.... :D

    And so I'm starting again....Hoping to put something in there later today....

    And here's to the Updates... xXx :)

    patman99 - I've Updated the First Page....You're doing AMAZING...keep on going.....Don't worry, you need to concentrate on what you need to concentrate on.... xXx :)

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Hello!
    Been a little while since I updated but I've continued to squirrel money away and I'm proud to say that my emergency fund stands at £2836! The house deposit fund isn't doing as well but I'd rather have peace of mind than a house right now. One thing at a time and all that!
