Thank you LMD
I think I'm going to set up a regular saver account as seems to have the best interest rate! Annoyingly I need to go into the branch to sort but my plan is £50 per month to get me started!

Not saving for wedding anymore.
I brought a laptop with the savings under the OK of the hubs to be.

It just isn't the right time yet as we have so much going on that it's easier to start saving when we both are able to. He's learning how to drive and soon will be taking his test so he'll be wanting to buy a car and insurance etc after he does pass.

I'm using the left over money to create a starter emergency fund first - see how long it takes. £414.69 in for now.

Go on another £2

hi

Are we all ok, u doing better this week helen

Please add £50 - had a few good survey payouts and cashed in some £2 coins (safer to bank so i don't dip in).

Still waiting for my £50 from Yougov to drop into my bank. I know it takes ages (only the 2nd time ive ever achieved it) but its a lovely amount - when it arrives!!!

Keep going everyone

Morning Everyone...

I'm not sure if I said but I've been doing a Course for the past 6 months....I'm a Psychotherapist but haven't been getting as many Private Clients as I would like and so I've been adding to my Training and this Training Course could continue for another 18 months to 2 years....but hopefully at the end of it I might be able to get a part-time Employed Job rather than relying on Private Clients...

So yesterday was the end of the first Course....And it was time for the exam....and that has been stressing me out for a good few weeks....Lots of exam anxiety....plus I've had to finish a fair amount of written work for the Course too...So this means I had to abandon most of my paid Work in order to do that...and unfortunately that means I needed my Emergency Fund to cover me....

I'm disappointed but at least I had the money there and I didn't have to borrow any money or take a loan out or anything like that...so I'm grateful for that....

So, starting again...hopefully I can begin my Emergency Fund again this coming Week when I get paid....Even if it's just a Fiver...Also going back onto my Diet this morning...So feeling positive so far this morning

Thank you everyone for your continued support and for keeping this Thread going when I haven't been able to come on....It's a real pleasure to see how friendly and helpful this Thread is...
