Have been a bit lucky and also spoilt. An elderly relative died in Jan and left my Mum some money. The will has just cleared probate and she has decided she doesn't want the money, and will split it between my brother and I. I don't quite know how much there will be, but there should be a good chunk towards the emergency fund - she is unsure but perhaps enough to finish it.
Combined with the news about interest rates, which I'm hoping will mean a few higher rate easy access accounts I can put the fund in, it's definitely a good day! Will keep you updated when the money arrives.

Thank you Helen x

i'd like to join please,
I'm working on my first £1,000 then I will build it up from there.

I have stashed away £50.00 into my emergency fund,
However I am currently out of a job so if worse comes to worse
and I don't get a job before September 7th, I would be using my wedding fund to help cover
& work with my fiance

But i'm feeling rather good about today

I feel like it is cheating really but the first chunk of my inheritance has arrived and it has been enough to complete my emergency fund. So I am 15000/15000, 100% complete.

Congrats, katsoocam!

And thank you for the warm welcome,
Dobbibill!

I got a job! I start monday , i'm really excited.
But i'm not out of the woods yet. It depends on how much my past job has owed me & from my new job too. it just may not be enough for the next month. I'm trying to be careful with my money now - had a spendy week.

I did use the £50 as I needed to pay £20 to replace my lost I.D and to get a filling done as my tooth was so painful but I managed to put £135 in the fund instead. I did take out £100 from my wedding but I was just thinking to myself , even though I would love to get married, I also have to think about the house we are in now and if we do find our selves in a situation, how are we going to cover it.

it's only £100 - I can easily replace that once I am settled and in a routine at my new work
