Happy New Year to all.

I have raided my last years emergency fund pot which, thankfully, wasn't needed, but was so reassuring to have.
I am hoping to top up £100 a month to reach target by end of April.0 -
Happy New Year everyone.
Money all allocated last month to do with Xmas so when I get paid this month I will start in earnest to get that fund going again.

So made a decision to put all money from my different savings pots into my EF, that coupled with a large amount from having higher wages than normal has given me £818.40....
However, Jan is an awkward month for my wages so may have to dip in at end of the month0
