    Hi everybody I just want to report that there is a very sad £11.65 left in my emergency fund, due to jumping on a chance to go and see my mom, whilst there was a window of opportunity and paying  a large bill this coming month I am now close to the beginning But it's a new beginning. My housing fund is untouched and I am getting paid later, so if I have a very frugal month I should be getting back to adding £100 a month from November. I am starting other small funds as well, as I will need to do a large car repair soon. And I need a vet und for my dog. But the good bit about having a low is that it's all up from there.
