    I may have to empty it soon, either I'm getting my teeth fixed, or I'm losing my job. I'll find out on Friday what the outcome will be :/

    Hi all 
    Can I join please?
    I have a basic emergency fund of £1000 that gets dipped into as and when but I have now started what I’ve labelled a ‘dire emergency fund’ in case of a losing my job/roof blowing off kind of emergency. Target is £6000 and so far I have £1200; I currently have a regular saver of £200 a month, so slow but steady.
    Thanks, TCC

    Saving for 🎄 🎁 2025 £460/£800 57%
    6 mth 🆘 fund £6k
    Mortgage offset fund £24.7k/£40.3k 61.3%
    It turns out the answer to my problems wasn’t at the bottom of this tub of ice-cream, 🍨 but the important thing is that I tried...

    Apologies to everyone that I've been on here a little less frequent recently. We had a family bereavement but I am back online more often now.
