    Can i join please :) I want to save for emergancy's

    Normally i'm pretty good at putting alittle away for emergancy's but my husband lost his job last november and we've had enough difficulty paying the bills never mind anything else, so our last emergancy pot has been drained.

    He got a new job 2 weeks ago and we've re-morgaged to absorb the debt which was crippling us. Things are starting to settle down and i'd like to see my savings account with some money in it for rainy days so we don't ever get into debt again.

    I have £600 left over from the re-morgage so the whole lot is going in, but don't expect such a big donation every month...teehee

    I don't really have a goal, it's just an emergancy pot really for emergancy type things we can't antisipate and can't do without, but i'd like to save about £50 - £100 a month if possible.
