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.

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....
And so I'm starting again....Hoping to put something in there later today....
And here's to the Updates... xXx

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!0 -
Managed the £30 extra to do £600 nowWhen I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0
