3 - 6 month Emergency Fund Challenge (part 2)

Hiya. I'm number 28.

My current savings stand at £323.93. Savings took a bit of a hit through July due to having to pay for a root canal and then having a new seal on the washing machine. However in great news i had a savings fund to cover both expenses for the first time ever so that made me feel better.

Brilliant progress Rosie75 :j you are well on your way and those regular top ups really do make a difference.

Post #2 has been updated.


Also keeping myself accountable, I've updated my own total.

You'll recall a few posts ago I was £150 short of my goal and was dithering over whether to move it from elsewhere. Well, I pondered and decided that I really want to save towards a lump mortgage overpayment and my monthly amount would be going towards that if I could just reach my goal here first.....so this morning, I moved it over and have reached my goal :T :T
Back to 100% after having to use some at the beginning of the year - yay!

Everyone, keep on keeping on because it really does feel fab when you get to your goal :money:

We can all do this and cheer each other on from the sidelines

Thanks, Dobbi! I'm modestly aiming for £1,500 by the end of the year. If so, I have £600 of it, already.
