  • So, we decided we needed a holiday and used my EF to do this when I came back, the £110 left over I sent to one of my credit cards.  Unfortunately I am back down to zero BUT I did really enjoy my holiday and it was worth every single penny to get the break in the sun we needed.

  • So, today’s pay day and I’ve popped funds back to my EF. I’m also going to include my work pay day savings in my total as it goes straight from the source and I forget about it. 

    So number 53 reporting in with £1002.87/£9330

    Well done skye_blue - you are now sitting on 92% so it really is the final push for you. You can do this!

    Keep on keeping on.

  • Hi Dobbibill

    #24 added £55 to my savings, so the total is now £2188 - creeping up  :)   I will probably be adding less over the next two months because of spending on Christmas but like the ad says 'every little counts' :)

    Thanks
