So, I've checked what I already have in my Emergency Fund account, and.... there's £100.82 in there already! Way more than I thought, though wouldn't cover for much in a disaster :rotfl:
Inspired, and spurred on by this nice surprise, I've trolled my other bank accounts and rounded down the money in them to nice round numbers, and have added a whopping £1.75 to the emergency fund :rotfl::rotfl:
Will add this challenge to my sig so I can keep track of it. But my Emergency Fund now stands at £102.57POAYDBX 2020 #? 20/4000

I have already started our emergency fund which at present stands @ £400, but I'm hoping to get this to £1000 A.S.A.P, so I'm hoping this challenge will help motivate me.
