  • Morning Everyone :) I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Day....I had a lovely Day.....and I feel very lucky to have gotten lots of wonderful Presents.... :)


    mothernerd - I'm sorry to hear that your Laptop died...you will get there hun....xXx :)


    Dobbibill - I hope you had a really great Christmas....and that you enjoy relaxing today as well... :)


    positivelypunked - I have changed your Name over but you still have the same Number...hope that's okay :) Don't worry about the Emergency Fund....you will get there....in the meantime just focus on what you need to pay day-to-day.... :)
  • Lovely to hear you had a wonderful day, DreamerHelen:T, and that Santa was so kind to you;).

    positivelypunked, how did you get a new account please, I thought it was strictly one per member? A friend wasn't even allowed to change her username:(

    Have a lovely day, everyone:beer:. If you are hitting the sales today don't forget Martin's Money Mantras;)
  • DreamerHelen, Thank you. Having the same number is fine!
    And thank you. I need to wait until the 30th to be able to put money in my accounts.
    I sorted out a budget to put money in the accounts.

    I Have 68p in my EF so far.
    *lol*

    carbootcrazy - I just signed up again using a different email.
    It really sucks that you can't actually delete your accounts.
    I have 2 that aren't being used. (I can't go back into one because I deleted the actual email address)
    I looked around last time and someone said to create a new one?
    I don't mean to break any rules if I am doing this?

    Morning everyone,

    I had a lovely day, was very spoilt by my family, I'm very blessed to have such a loving family around me. I'm glad you had a lovely day too Helen and I hope everyone else did.

    positively punked are they not able to help you via the forum help? Surely they must have come across others with old email addresses that they can no longer access and be able to update your username in the background or something, it seems such a shame to have to change because of that, losing all your subscribed threads and other history. Welcome back though, whatever name you use ;)

    Have a relaxing day today everyone.

  • It's okay,
    I want to start a fresh.
    I want to see how much exactly I save in 2016 and I don't really want to be reminded of my struggles.
