    Hurrah! we sold my pushbike so can I add another £150 to the savings pot please.

    It sold for £275 but we had a few shortfalls to cover and DH really needs new work shoes :o However we did think of relaxing the grocery and social budget as we have guests next week but jointly decided to keep on with our frugal ways until we reach the savings target. :A

    Thanks for keeping us honest!:T

  • Hi can I join please? I used to have a decent emergency fund of 4k but I ended up out of work for 3 months, then moving to a different part of the country for a job so I've pretty much decimated my EF. I guess that's what its for though right? I have £502 left and looking to build that back up to £1000 then increasing target from there.
