Hi Everyone,


I'm back from my few days away and have done the big number shuffle. :T

With so few moving over from the original challenge, I have changed almost everyone's number for a fresh start. (Please check post #2)

If anyone is not happy with their number, please let me know, it's not a problem to amend it.

For now, keep on keeping on

Thank you Dobbi.

This morning I transferred the extra monies from my current account as I get paid this week, I left myself £100 but doubt if I'll spend it. My EF is now £700. slowly getting there

Total updated for you. You are doing brilliantly
I do like to add the percentages in - many of us calculate it anyway as it's helps the focus so I thought adding it would be handy
Keep up the good work.

I set aside some time at the weekend to go over finances and had a lightbulb moment. I've been putting small amounts into little "pots" and therefore never get round to actually completing one. Just like my house renovation projects. Oh dear!!! So, I amalgamated everything I could and finished my main goal of having an immediate contingency fund of £1000 and then set up a monthly savers bank account (for one year) for the 3-6 month emergency fund. A small amount, but over time will add up. So my 3-6 sum is now at £35.00 please Dobbibill!

Can I join? I have just cleared our loan debt and used a good chunk of our savings to do so. I would like to get to £5000. Currently Mr Big Dreams and I are at £2145.
Thank you
