    Hi Jwil,

    Read all your old diaries and just wanted to say good luck with your new plan!

    I’m also on a DMP and saving for an emergency/F & F fund so will lurk about and hopefully pick up some useful tips/inspiration :)

    Wow, that was brave reading my old diaries, thank you! :)

    Good luck with your DMP, do you have a diary? I'll have a hunt.

  • Hey jwil, look at your emergency fund percentage. There's Sumat not right.

    Today hasn't started well. Little miss is poorly so I had to call DH back from work to stay with her. He's not overly impressed as he won't get paid for today, but I've got deadlines and I'm off next week so really could do with being in today.

    I sold several items on eBay yesterday but didn't get a chance to pack them this morning, so that's a job for tomorrow. Pleased with the amount gone though :T

    Thank you! Well spotted :) That's a reflection of my good maths skills :o No wonder I'm in debt :rotfl:

    I originally put £10,000, but decided to change it to something a little more realistic to start with because of everything else I'm trying to do.

    No idea yet, whatever looks most urgent. Probably sorting out the kids room - it has no carpet down so a ripe candidate for getting the electrics in there sorted (plus whatever else can be accessed through the floor), it desperately needs a new window, and then obviously carpet and decorating.
