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.

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