Have added £1246 to the emergency fund taking it up to £3431. This is quite extreme and I am not sure if I might have to take some of it out again as the month goes on. Ah well, aim high and all that!

Hi Moneybutterfly.
It looks like you've been doing the £1000 emergency fund challenge - that has you listed as #244.
You are more than welcome to join this 3 - 6 month EF challenge too if you want either now or after you've reached your £1000 in the other challenge.
Either way - Well done on adding to your fund, no matter big or small. Money going in is always better than money coming out

Morning Peeps,
just moved over £10 I had left in a small account I use for odds and sods.
Been busy helping DS get his finances into shape too. So I am doubly doing this!! I know he needs to learn but he has enough on his plate. (Having another half who wont/cant be bothered and does a bad job of her own - whom I have helped clear debt previously - trying to teach!!!) I do tell him how we get it done. He shops frugally too, so we are making good headway.
Takes me to £1020.39
Will get that rounded up next month
have a good week all
