Well done lindez :jGood evening all, I managed to find another £25.00 today to put to my emergency fund, total so far for me #100 now stands at £60/6000 thats 1% so far the rest will be slow drips and drabs.
Thank you all this thread is so inspiring x LD
How amazing to hit your first 1%.
Calculating the % looks like it's going to be very motivational for you.
This saving malarky does become very addictive too

Yay!!! Welcome aboardzippygeorgeandben wrote: »Ok Dobbibill you've twisted my mind - what do I need to know/do? I'll do a 6 month salary challenge.
Let us know your target £s - when Helen pops in she will give you a number and pop your target and progress on the first page.
There's no rush and you can add or use as/when you need it - it's an EF after all and that's what it's there for.
Pop in whenever you like and update us on how things are going - we are all a friendly bunch and will be cheering you on.
I have a little saying that keeps me going.....keep on keeping on

Hi Smurphington - of course you can join. :wave:Smurphington wrote: »Hello can I join please. I would like to aim for 3 months to start with which would be £3,500
When Helen pops in she will allocate you a number and add your name, number, target and progress to the first page.
Pop in as often as you like with an update.
This is not a race, just a scenic route to your end goal.
Put as much or as little in when you can - if you need to use it that's cool as that's what it's there for.
All the best.

Not an overpayment, but Mums DD came out today so target has dropped by £100.00.
Not sure I'm going to manage an overpayment soon, we've changed energy supplier and have a big final bill to pay off.
