Just updated my total. I hate having oddments at the end so will rectify that by the end of the week. I'm hoping by mid October to have my full emergency fund. Fingers, toes and everything crossed

Anyway worked hard at building it back up and it's now at £170, hope to reach £600 by the end of the year if nothing else crops upMy LBM May 2017, DH LBM July 2017- Total Debt (not Including Mortgage) £46444.23 :eek:£40773.61 /£46444.23 87.8% paid0 -
Well done to everyone who has added to their funds:beer:

Phew! My EF remains intact and awaits the next 'emergency' which might be more real, and expensive than the cat false alarm;)0 -
