I have been reorganising my savings.  Just using £400 for plumbing- new shower and a replacement outside pipe (two separate items that am getting fixed together).  Currently I have one month of bills ready to pay them.  I have a second month ready to replenish those. I did have more in this account but have added £1000 from there to my Barclays Blue Rewards due to the interest rate. Every penny helps pay off the mortgage...... Then I have what I consider actually savings.  I have just over £6000 sat in savings excluding the month of bills.  However of the £6000 some is self care (things like hair cuts), some is presents (birthdays and Christmas- I have several family birthdays around Christmas) and some is shorter term spends such as my new shower.  

Not sure if you want me to amend your total to £6000 or if you want to update on how much it is after birthday, Christmas etc - feel free to let us know - your total is currently sitting at £4500/£5700

Keep up the good work

No leave as is.  £5700 covers 6 months worth of bills.

Not all of savings is counting as emergency fund. (of course if push came to shove it is money available).

I have a plan after Christmas to add an extra £100 a week to my blue rewards until it has £5000 in.  Interest is only payable on balances up to £5000.  I will have that funded by end of March.

I've had a think about my new EF target and would like to change it to £9000.
I'm going to continue saving £50 a month for now, so I'm aiming to get to £8250 by the Dec 2024. 

Thank you @Dobbibill !
