The £1,000 emergency fund challenge.

BettyBoof

Phooey Car failed its M.O.T. so I'm waiting to see how much of the EF will be required to sort it. I'm hoping less than £150 but we'll see...

Hi, Ive just found this challenge and would love to join.
We are using many of Dave Ramsay's methods to become debt free including using cash envelopes but I find saving an emergency fund really difficult.
Hopefully this challenge will really help. off to read some back pages and get some inspiration

Wow! Nearly at the magic 200 member mark:j. Just shows what a brilliant thread this is, patman:beer:

Nothing to add as such (yet;)) but will be getting a refund from Specsavers when I bite the bullet and go in there on Monday. I opted for varifocals for the first time this year and despite trying them for a couple of months I really can't get on with them:o. Their Ts and Cs say that they'll swap varifocals for single vision lenses with no quibbling. As they will be cheaper I assume they'll repay the difference.

Anything I get back will be going straight into my EF. It would be amazing if I could reach £1000 by the end of the year:j

Well done, Dobbibill:beer:

I think you're right about the significant member number_party_:dance:.. Patman was worried that we'd even hit 50 when he started the thread.

Thanks CBC :beer:

It is amazing how absolutely brilliant this thread has and continues to be.
I remember Patman's amazement at reaching the 50 members. That is testament to Patman and all the other members' inspirational stories, aims, goals and achievements on this thread. :j :j :j
