Hi
I haven't been in for ages, but still trying to get my fund up to £1000, I had managed to get it up to about £400 but needed to use some recently to help my son buy some furniture for his flat, if I hadn't been saving towards my £1000 I wouldn't have been able to help him, so I'm glad it was there, now to start building it up again.

No, there's no glass ceiling here. If you wanted to (and had another Bank Account), you could join DreamerHelen's 3-6 month salary challenge and save into that as a secondary fund.
Anyway, I am now back to the position where my main acount is up to my minimum amount, s £11.06 went across to my EF today.Never Knowingly Understood.

Thank you, I have already joined Helen's troops and have a 3-6 month fund. It's a bit up and downy as that's the one I use as a 'go to' find for holiday spends etc but it's slowly growing

Checked my EF today only to find the RAC have renewed my membership without contacting me first. I will be contacting them to complain.Never Knowingly Understood.
