vkz you now have your number (check post #1). Welcome on board.

Job front looking up. Got to go for an assessment day at HMP YOI Holloway in January. Don't rate my chances but at least my job coach can't moan that I have done no job hunting over Christmas.

Due to getting paid in early Jan, have withdrawn all my £350 odd emergency fund...well, I've had to leave a pound! I know I won't spend it all but any extra I might pay off a bill and restart fund in 2015, or simply pop it back in

Well done to everyone who is managing to add to their EF savings pot at this most expensive time of year:T.

Nothing more to add to mine, sadly, but am working on it!

CBC, You've got it spot on there with it being the most expensive time of the year but I think we all need to focus on it being a marathon rather than a sprint so whether we add today, tomorrow or some time in January it doesn't really matter as long as we are adding funds when we can. I'm sure you will update yours very soon :T

I was ill over the weekend which meant I couldn't attend my works Christmas party on Saturday but on the plus side I added the £50 I had budgeted for the party to my emergency fund - every cloud & all that!

EF - £100.00/£1000.00

Hi everyone
Sorry I haven't posted for a while due to work commitments I'm heading off there again soon but just wanted to report in with £59.44 I hope to keep it in my EF all food and gift shopping done just need to get some drinks then all set.
Had another car issue the other day my clutch went in rush hour traffic:eek: it is fixed but I will need to replace it in the new year, a cost I could really do without.
Well done to everyone who is still managing to save and fingers crossed for good news on the job front in January Patman.
