Ani*fan, you had not joined before.
Dehumidifier has packed up, so will be spending some of my EF replacing it.Never Knowingly Understood.
Member #1 of £1,000 challenge - £13.74/ £1000 (that's 1.374%)
3-6 month EF £0/£3600 (that's 0 days worth)0 -
Yesterday I cleared the small debt I had accrued earlier this year, so to celebrate I sent £5 to my emergency fund :T my plan is to keep on sending regular monthly amounts to the EF but also to send small payments as and when I can to help get to that £1,000 mark a bit quicker. Have been paid but haven't moved the money anywhere yet, will update as and when I get round to it and top up the EF further.0
