    I joined a while back but not having much luck due to relationship problems (he ever used to pay for much at all and so I used my money on him when I shouldn't have) but now I've broken up with him & I want to start to rebuild my life again as I literally have no money saved up (had to use it to cover myself more than twice in the last 6 months)

    I've set up a standing order to put £28 away in my savings for christmas each month.

    We are still only in March so you have plenty of time to start saving:cool:

    Sorry to hear you are having problems in your relationship but now you have broken up with him, you can concentrate on what's best for you;)

    Good Luck
