    Of course you can join - welcome aboard.

    Many of us are doing the £1k EF along with this one.

    Helen will give you a number and add you and your progress to the first page when she drops in. Until then keep us updated ;)

    Ah cool thank you.

    I accidentally typed £120 when I should have said:

    I have £20.00

    So £20 is my total.

    I love a 5 friday month. My budgetting covers my bills over 4 weeks wages, so it's basically an extra wage packet. :D
    Shoved the entire thing into Mums fund.
    Total now £871.63/£3000.
    I'm aiming to round it up to £1000 by the end of the month, should be doable if I don't buy Donna a friend ;) she's doing well by the way, eating like a queen and piling on the grams :)

    Hi

    Hope everyone is keeping warm and healthy, the lighter days are coming and it makes such a difference to how we all feel i think

    Please add £50 for this week

    Well ive had my council tax bill drop through the letter box this week so with the increase in that, the water and gas thats nearly £40 a month extra - think this savings lark gets harder all the time!

    Never mind we just keep plodding along eh helen

    Have a good week everyone

    Welcome aboard moneyonmymindsam,

    When Helen pops in she will give you a number and add your target and progress to the first page.

    In the meantime, keep us updated - we are a friendly bunch and will be cheering you on from the sidelines.

    We are all in it for the long haul - this is definitely a stroll not a sprint for us all ;) You are out of the starting block already with £1 more than you had yesterday.

    Dobbi :D
