Sorry folks, not been on here for weeks and weeks. Real life has well and truly got in the way:(. Am helping to look after a very close family member with a very serious medical condition. Long story how I came to be involved, follows a very long breech and maybe I feel guilty but I can't really go into it here.

Am staying at their home about 150 miles away and they have no internet there so I'm never online:(. Have no other devices to access internet/emails etc, sadly. Just dash back to my own home for a few hours about once a month and try to do a bit of catching up. No time to read all the posts but just wanted to touch base and wish you all well:beer:.

My EF has been totally wiped out but there'll always be another day and I'll start again when I can.

No time now to faff about altering my signature so the figures are miles wrong.

Might not be back for a few weeks but I will be back one day:j

Hi everyone

I've not posted for a while, but have been keeping up with all your progress

My EF is now at a very nice £1,500. I am happy that will cover most emergency situations and will now throw any spare money towards paying off our debt pile

Thank you for setting up this challenge - it is so motivating to be in a group with others aiming for the same thing.

Keep the hard work up folks.

Happy April everyone.

Have managed to get EF upto £700 DH started new job today so squirelling as much as poss in case of emergency tax etc at the end of the month in first wages. Will be so happy if first wages go smoothly and don't have to dip into/demolish EF.

Keep going everyone :T

Hi all, Hope everyone is doing well?!

I'm now at £413/£1000 but am lucky enough to have a lodger moving in for 5 months so will be saving £100 a month into my EF account!! Very excited about this, although it will take me to August. But at least it will be building itself up!

Calculated what I would need a month bills/food and its £780. so 3m would be £2340... I think I will look at this after I have paid off my last CC!!!

I finally got around to selling a big ticket item on eBay and made £135 so my EF now stands at £340. I've been saving separately for car repairs so when I spotted a headlight not working last night it was a relief to know my EF will remain intact.

Really want to be at £500 by August so that's my next target.

Keeping the car theme, well done to everyone who is motoring along and keep pedalling to those stuck at a red light!

10% done. Hope to pick up the pace and reach 25% over the next few months.
