  • Good Afternoon! I have just moved weeks 1-13 in the alternative method into my emergency fund account from the student finance! That covers January to the first week in April I think student finance comes again in the second or third week!

    Student Finance have poo poo'd up my entitlement (again!?!?!) So I have only had 1/4 of what I should have done... So wanted to move the cash across for the whole period so I can now budget to manage on what is left and my wages.

    So glad that I did get a part time job I think if I only had student finance to rely on for timely and correct financing I'd have a complete breakdown!

    £325 in emergency fund!

    Another couple of £££ added so I'm upto £24. A few weeks ahead of schedule, but I'm sure it's better to ahead rather than behind. Keep it up everyone.
