    A little bit of progress for me yesterday.

    I added £177 into our savings account made up from a £12 winning scratchcard (birthday present for hubby from my parents) and the rest from my wages.

    Total so far £2504.02/£38457 = 6.50% :)

    I've had a bit of a disaster, think it will slow my pay down by a month, grr, a nice 400 emergency dentist bill. Will re-evaluate on pay day to see how much I can rescue it.
