    Hi (no 2 here)
    Please add £600 from my march pay - its pushing it a bit but should manage if i go carefully
    Stay safe everyone and thanks for updating
  • I've had to deduct from my EF, bought a flat and have to use this as part of my decorating costs. 

    Only had £100 there so I am now back down to £0.00. 

    Will try to get this back in there by the end of the month.

    Hi (no 2 here)
    Received a cheque for just short of £50 for some interest backdated from years ago - so rounded up to £50 and straight to EF wasn't expecting it so off it went to the pot.  Fingers crossed things ticking along well so far, long may it continue
    Stay safe, have a great easter weekend and thanks for posting

    I unexpectedly ended up in a position where I'm changing employer with a small EF fun. 😳 Really wish I saved up more!! 

    Will have to pause adding to EF for a couple of months due to the change in circumstances,  but will be back on a mission as soon as I can. :) 

    Happy Easter! 🐥

    Yes, @blue_mango, but I feel like that Greek bloke, Sysiphus, rolling his boulder up the hill only for it to roll back down the every time he gets it up there! It's going to take forever!

    It took me a while to do my finances this month but done them I have and now...
