    April wasn't a good month for me personally. I had to replace a washer-dryer, pay final electricity bills, increased childcare, easter break and god knows what else.
    I haven't got the final numbers yet ... still calculating losses :( but I know I am behind my monthly target. I will update after I have had the time to take some other bills into consideration.


    Hope may will bring better tidings for me. What about you all?
    Marriage is hard. Divorce is hard. Choose your hard.
    Obesity is hard. Being fit is hard. Choose your hard.
    Being in debt is hard. Being financially disciplined is hard. Choose your hard.
    Communication is hard. Not communicating is hard. Choose your hard.
    Life will never be easy. It will always be hard. But you can choose your hard.

    Hi @slowlyfading - presume it was too late to join when I last posted but in case I’m wrong, could I register £10k in April? It will slow way down soon but keen to keep trying! :j

    Firstly, I'm sorry it's taken me this long to update the spreadsheet - it is now up to date! I am trying to juggle too much at the moment and it shows.



    Secondly, I am loving reading all of your replies and support for each other, it's fab :smileyhea

    I can see you on the spreadsheet but I think you need to do an update form for your £10k in April to be taken into account.

  • Thanks for updating...
    I'm inappropriately excited to be orange now for my percentage... yellow next barring disaster. Should get a couple of fair months in before my car insurance is due in July.
    I love this thread. Thanks for all your encouragements last time I posted.
    A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it
