    Welcome ej22, you are member 251. Nicnak, you are #252.

    Nice to see the list keeps growing. This means one thing. People are begining to realise the importance of having an emergency fund.

    Hello, can I join please?

    Let me know if there are any rules I should know or if I need to be assigned a number.

    I have focused on paying off my debts at the expense of any savings and as a result I have no savings, but at least a greatly reduced debt. This was going fine until my contract at work ended unexpectedly early....

    I currently have £20.77 in my savings account as of the 27th. Before that it was £0 and had been for an extremely long time.

    I am trying to forget that the money is there if that makes sense so that I don't delve into it.
