The £1,000 emergency fund challenge.

laurag89

Just about to update my signature, but vets did not cost quite as much as I thought so my emergency fund has £30 in it still
I can't wait till payday to add some.

I have consolidated all my debt into one loan now so my emergency fund is getting attacked first before making overpayments to the loan.

Vet charging less than expected makes a very nice change:j. The last time my cat had to have anything done other than routine jabs etc it was me that needed treatment when I got the bill:eek:

Hahaha that made me laugh, that is so true!
I my mind I had anticipated that would be the case but had a surprise to find it wasn't so bad..... Although saying that £100 to be told guinea pig is fine is a big of a joke.

Welcome to the group BabyBetty! Patman will allocate you a number when he checks up on us all!
It's never too late to get back up on the wagon.

£31.05 currently in my emergency fund

I've set it up so that £10.00 (and some odd change) goes in weekly. Hopefully I will be able to increase this in a couple of months when my debt has decreased:money:

Logging in to say I am now at 20% of my target. Only another £800 to go! Only, ha ha

Aiming to max out my fund by September!

You're #73 BabyBetty. Welcome to the thread.

All sorted for tomorrow and have decided that as it is only 3.5 miles, I will walk the return journey back to the ststion. That way, I will only have 15 minutes to wait for the train rather than an hour. So less temptation to go spend on food/drink.

Stole from mine before xmas to avoid interest on my cc but put 11.85 back today. May be bit slow at this saving this month, got teeth problems which weren't budgeted for. If I had an EF saved I would be alright lol
