#300

Had some unexpected expenses in February which cleared out my emergency fund. March’s standing order and some other spare money gone in so currently have £59.51. Am aiming for a more frugal March so hoping to keep that money in the account and get building up the emergency fund.

#192 Checking in after a bit of a hiatus! 
Up to £300, hoping to hit £1000 by christmas as prioritising debt clearance (we have an emergency emergency pot which is locked away if we really needed to get to it ie house or car mega disaster, but it is a pain to get to - purposefully) 
I am trying to put £150 a month away and keep it there, or at least get it topped back up as soon as possible if it is needed for something important. 
 Until Jan this year (when we made it our NY resolution to sort our !!!!!! out, money wise) it would go into the savings on the first of the month and come out again by the 14th, so to have kept it in there the last 2 months is really good going for us!

#306 ditty1234 Somehow I seem to have two numbers, but only one emergency fund. Can't wait for it to go over the £200 mark when standing order goes out on Monday. Keep trowing pennies at it as well. It all helps a it.
