    No. 112, EF now standing at £451.00. Am tempted to transfer more over from my normal account but when I usually do this disaster strikes and I have to transfer the money back so think will leave it where it is till the day before I get paid. Just too impatient to get it to the £1000.x

    I spoke to soon, had a trip to the vet for my rabbit today, £120 :eek:_pale_ I've contacted the rescue centre as it was to do with a pre-existing condition which they said they can help pay with. So until I hear from them I used my credit card,but will pay it ASAP with funds from my emergency fund.



    Good news from the rescue centre, they will cover half the cost of the treatment, I just have to wait for a cheque. I'll take the £60 hit to the EF and adjust my signature accordingly! However the other rabbit decided to get ill and also cost me money at the vet, although hers is going through the insurance. I should get some of that back as well. For now the EF stands at £762.


    This has reaffirmed 2 things for me:
    1. Having an emergency fund is an absolute necessity!
    2. Ditto for pet insurance!

    Very slow progress for me, but checking in with another £20. I think that takes me to £540/£1000.
    September 2017 Debt = £25330

    Starting afresh.

    You can do anything if you put your mind to it. x
