    I have managed to get my savings back up to £1,000 despite family needs meaning that I have to find an extra £414 a month outgoing at the moment.
    I can do this!
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Hey guys, just popping in with an update. No major news, just been plodding along with paying off Mums money.
    I have £1300 left to go (£1200 after the regular DD goes out on 1st) I have £400 tucked away so getting there slowly.
    Once she's paid off I can concentrate on my EF savings.

    Hi everyone

    Hope things are ok helen

    No 29 reporting £100 (£1,760 now) its going up nicely

    Ive started my xmas shopping and im really going to be sensible this year

    Not getting carried away with either presents or food - getting better with this each year. I think thats the way a lot of folk are thinking

    Ive been knitting hats and scarves for a homeless charity and now the weather is changing i think i need to get the last few hats sewn up - why is that the worst part

    Keep warm everyone
