    Morning everyone :) I've had a busy couple of weeks, selling everything and also spending only the basic essentials...and have shocked myself by managing to save £800!

    #2 with an update.

    Added a little more today. An extra £18.04 for me taking my total up to £5366.36, it's only a small 0.21% rise but it's going in the right direction ;)

    A big whoop whoop to everyone else too, you are all doing fab........and if you have to use it for an emergency, then that's cool as it's an EF anyway and beats wracking up debt for those emergencies life throws at us.

    Happy Wednesday people :D

    Hi everyone,

    I finally sold my iPhone on eBay and got payment this time, so I'm declaring another £58 to my EF as well as more random interest from different accounts that I've now transferred over.

    New total:

    #5: £1063.01/£3000 (35.43%)

    Im thinking of digging out some more stuff for Ebay rather than waiting until payday again to add to my total.

    Thanks, Sophie
