    Hi everyone,

    I haven't posted in ages but i have still been adding to my little car fund, slowly.

    #5 £2555.21 (51.10%)

    Im wanting to up the amount I'm saving to £5000, rather than the initial £4000 if thats ok.

    I've got some bits and bobs on eBay so hopefully they will sell and i can add to my total :)

    Thanks, Sophie

    £50 added to EF, total now £1250.

    House completion date set for 10th July! So some of this money will be used to replace the hallway carpet and kitchen lino that the puppy has eaten.
    Once things settle down I'll be back to start again with a new goal & total.

    Morning Everyone :)

    Well it's been much more of a positive time for me lately....I'm feeling more positive and things seem to be going my way, which is nice....apart from this Weather (which I hate!)....but that should settle after a while... :D

    I've added another £5 to my Emergency Fund...Building it slowly...but then again slowly is the way to go for me... :)

    Please stay safe in this hot Weather everyone...take care, drink plenty....

    Here's to the Updates.... xXx :)

    LittleMissDetermined - I've Updated the First Page...You're doing INCREDIBLE!! Keep going...I may have asked you this already but where are you off to on Holiday? xXx :)
