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!
I am aiming for £5K, so i have a way to go yet, but i am pleased with what i have managed so far!0 -
#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

Nothing to Report money-wise from me.....It's been a bit of a tough week or two....but the good news is that I haven't had to take money out of my various Pots - So I've decided to feel proud about that.....I will put money IN when I can....and I hope it will be soon....

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, SophieMortgage Feb 2023- £249,210 MFW 2023 #20: £524.05/£500 (104.81%)0
