  • Hi everyone

    Nice car Crimson.addict...!

    I have added £6.20 to my find this morning, taking my total to £112.05. I'm sure at some point I will be able to add some serious amounts but for the time being I have to keep bashing away at the debt

    Hope everyone's ok, I've been busy for a while so not been around much

    Hi all, decided to move my EF from my online savings into my ISA and found £180 that I'd forgotten about! So my EF total is now £1129.15! :) So I've made my £1000 target for this month.
    I won't be able to keep this speed up, but it's nice to have a good starting pot.

    Sorry to hear you're under the weather, I hope the antibiotics kick in soon ;)
    Dobbibill - I'm okay apart from feeling a bit off-colour this morning....I can't wait to hear your Update on Payday ;)

    I'm not holding my breath for the best update tomorrow as I checked my payslip today and it's wrong, it's down by quite a bit, so I fear my update will not be my usual dedicated amount.

    I will need to do some calculations and figure it all out.......on a brighter note, they should have it sorted by next month so I'll more than make up for it then.......hopefully :D

    Until tomorrow ;)
