    #2 update

    £100 added a few days ago, £150 added for Pay Day.

    New Total £3889.60 aka 43.22%

    It looks like I might stand a chance of hitting 45% before the year is out.

    Keep on keeping on.

  • Hi everyone, I hope that you’re all well.

    Not posted for a while now do I thought I’d give you an update. I’m on £3700 in my 3-6 month fund now, 51.9% of my target which feels like a bit of a milestone :D

    Evening All... :)

    So I'm not on the Night Shift tonight....haven't been for a few days now....Which has actually been quite nice as it's quite draining...It seems to be winding down now so I'm not sure how much more Night Shifts I'll be doing...We'll see....

    Nothing to Report to moneywise for me....

    I've been feeling somewhat anxious and it seems to be getting worse although I'm handling it with help from an amazing Therapist and because I'm a Therapist myself I can usually talk myself down...so that's what I'm trying to do... I'll be just fine...

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

    Dobbibill - I've Updated the First Page...you really are an inspiration...You're doing INCREDIBLE!! Keep on keeping on hun xXx :)

    LittleMissDetermined - I've Updated the First Page...You're doing BRILLIANTLY!! Keep on going...and it's lovely to see you again...Drop in anytime you like...it's ALWAYS a pleasure xXx :)

    166million - I've Updated the First Page...You're doing AWESOME!! You CAN do this....and it's NOT paltry at all, whatever you can save is definitely a great thing...I'm so sorry to hear you've been feeling morose....Take good care of yourself xXx :)

    Patman99 - Really lovely to have you here...it sounds like you have great plans for the future....Keep moving towards them....Do you want me to Update your Total? Just let me know if you do... xXx :)

    EDIT To PATMAN - I just saw your Signature so I've Updated the Total to £240.61 - Is that right? You're doing GREAT!!

    Hope you're feeling gin top of the world soon Helen. Do you think it's something to do with working?Seems to coincide with ding night shifts when you feel anxious ? Just a thought
    Thinking of moving some money into my EF from the 'window cleaner' pot as I seem to have a slight excess there
