Hi
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
Big Dreams

Hi all,
#17 of the EF group. Found an old building society pass book!! interest rates are naff but that's not going to be an issue when trying to scrat together some EF funds. As it is more inconvenient to make the withdrawal think this is a good place to make a stash. It currently has 1010.39 in it. I will make my small transfers into an online account and when I accumulate 10.00 will move it over - so not to fill the book too quick
.
Better have a better push at this to 1500.00
Onwards and upwards peepsAnything is better than nothing-check back and see

#9 currently £512/£3000
Had a few refunds which went straight to EF.
The other day I was scared of losing my job for saying something politically incorrect... That made me think, erm I don't have enough money to get me through a month, no partner, no family, lots of bills... I am now even more determined to save those 3k, and of course keep my mouth shut at work. 0 -
