  • Had a bit of a bonus so decided to add it to emergency fund making it 800/1000. Really happy about this, at one time I'd have frittered it away!

    Checking in with a £166/£1000. Fingers crossed my car goes through MOT this Tuesday, otherwise have a small stash on budget account that should cover it.

    Jan: £1 x 2 credited to set up two accounts with which to save. Both are being used for the purposes of my EF (one short-term easy access and one long-term savings that I can only touch in a year's time).
    Feb: £4.40 and £4.50 credited to EF accounts.

    Changed my car insurance so used money from EF for deposit on the new car insurance. I will put it back on the first, but I had time over half term to sort out the switch and it will save me money in the future. Will use the savings to make the monthly automatic transfer higher from May when the early cancellation fee is paid off.
