    Well, this year hasn't got off to a good start to be honest, both personally and financially. :(
    Thank goodness I managed to have some kind of EF. Not quite enough for what I need but at least I haven't got much to find to pay for the emergency expenditure. :)
    As a result of all the stuff I need to deal with this month, I intend to play catchup with my targets, goals and ambitions for this year, in February.
    I can say that to start with, I intend to build up my EF again.
    I also need to save regularly and pay off at least 5k of the mortgage.
    I need to get rid of loads of stuff and try and make some extra money from down sizing my collections etc, this year.

    Sorry to hear things have not got off to a good start, Tattycath :(.

    It just shows how important it is to build up an emergency fund, well done for doing it :beer:.

    Looking forward to hearing about your targets - remember to look after yourself and find time to switch off and relax, you have so much on your plate.

    Big birthday was it :D_party_:wink::bdaycake: - many happy returns :D

    Going for a no spend day today.
    Lots to do at home.
    Need to think about having a good spring clean february/march and clearing out some junk and hopefully raising some much needed funds to accommodate my goals for this year. :)
