Number 196 with another £40 to add. Taking my total up to £540. Had a bit of an emergency this month in that our washing machine is dying and our tumble dryer has died
We decided to just order a new wash dryer because dryer cannot be fixed and washer will cost a lot to fix. We have put it on a 0% card but will pay it off £100 a month so that's going to make things a bit tight...didn't use the emergency fund because I think we may need it for car insurance. Hopefully when car insuracne is paid we can build up the emergency fund for proper unforseen emergencies! 0 -
