    Isn't it lovely when an unexpected little bonus comes along?

    Pleased to report an extra £300 for July, making the total £700 this month.

    The MF goal is getting so close I can taste it! I have to restrain myself from just trying to throw my emergency fund at it and being almost done, but that could expose me to bigger and more expensive debt in a catastrophe - slow and steady wins the race after all.

    Hope you are on the mend hiddenshadow, lovely to see you pop by :)

    Thanks to pawlala.
