Mine is going to be a slow old job at this rate, but I'm pleased to announce I now have £52.59

At least I could now cover an emergency train fare home if needed - that's nice to know!

Onwards and upwards!!!!!!!

Only 9p away from the next whole £. This will be fixed on payday (Friday).

I didn't realise I'd been allocated a number doh!

I am just starting a new temp job with tips. I'm hoping to start saving my tips towards savings.

I'm this week realising how important the emergency fund is. I'm off work sick with something that could take days, weeks or months to get better, no one knows. I work as a supply teacher, so if I don't go in, I don't get paid. Made enough this month so that the emergency fund will be jumping up to around £700-£800, but won't be adding it until the last few days of the month when I know exactly where I stand financially. Though, my aim is to be back in work a couple of days next week (it is possible, hopefully) so won't be needing to touch the emergency fund! Eeeeeek!!

Hope you feel better soon Mrs Save. I went self employed 3 years ago & it has been tough. I am very lucky not to have had anything serious in that time but had to work through 2 bouts of tonsillitis which is extremely painful & I had a fever both times but when it's your only choice you keep going if you can (no implied criticism to you, if you are ill enough to be home you should be) I should have been I'd never let a member of my team work in that condition but I had no choice.

Hi All


Just another £2.91 to add from tidying bank acc.
Nearly at £20.00 which is more than I had 3 weeks ago but keeping fingers crossed there are no emergencies.

:hello:Patman

Please may I join your £1000 club, I have no EF at the moment and really need to get started. I feel at home here as it will be little and often with me as with other members, every journey starts with a single step and I have just made it by transferring £5.05 in a Tilly tidy of my bank account.

Thanks to everyone for inspiring me to take my first step:beer:

Hi everyone, can I join also? I've already started on my way to the elusive £1,000 EF but didn't realise there was a challenge thread for it also! Well done everyone on getting started, that's the hardest part.

Nice to keep-up the 2x2 theme ('and they came in 2 by 2').
