    Hi all, can I join please? I have just bought my first house so feel the need to establish an emergency fund. I have £150 in the pot so far.

  • Back up to £78.69 after having to dip into it while I was sick from work. Fingers crossed I can get it back into the £100 mark once all my direct debits leave my account

    Welcome astrid35.

    Car cost £150 to get through MOT as they had to fix the steering wheel and horn. Will have to transfer all my EF back to cover the bills.
    Will move it back once I have enough funds to cover everything going out.
