So we're currently saving for a house deposit and look set to achieve this by the end of the year-then the real hard work starts.:mad:
we plan on having 4-6 months saved as a emergency fund (i'e not to be touched)
however what percentage should we stick aside as general savings, as a pension etc each month.
any help would be gratefully received

Pension completely depends on what you want when you retire, what type of pension is available and what your employer pays into it.
General savings - again depends on if you have a car etc.
It's worthwhile just looking at what may cost you in the future - boiler breaks, car breaks etc. to cover these.0
