    It’s actually 34 months until the CC needs clearing, because it’s the end of 2020 that the offer finishes. But I was toying with what you put in your plan as my most likely option.

    Oh dear - I can't count from 2018 to 2020 :rotfl:

    amending amounts to
    £200
    £100
    £200

    Hi claireg86 - of course you can join. :hello:

    When Helen pops in she will allocate you a number and add your target and progress to the first page.

    In the meantime keep up the good work you've already started and let us know how you're getting on.

    We'll all be cheering you on from the sidelines.

    Dobbi :D

  • Hi there everyone

    I’ve popped another £250 into my fund, this will probably only be there a few weeks before I go on holiday but I’d rather it me safe in the 3-6 fund than available in my current account!

    This takes me to £5950 in total

    Happy February :)

    Well I secured some extra hours from April 01st so limping through until then. I was able to put a bit more into the EF pot this month though.

    Amount added = £250
    3-6 Month EF = £2275/£4500


    It feels good to almost be at the half way mark to my 3 month goal!! Keep up the good work everyone!!!
