Well done skinnylove - you have now been turned blue and yellow on the spreadsheet

Despite lots of unwanted things happening at the moment - taking the chance to turn it into a positive is brilliant. Not great that your holiday was cancelled but on the bright side, your EF is now full to the brim

Well done to everyone else who is continually adding to their fund - you are really doing fantastically.

Keep on keeping on

Fabulous, thank you! At the start of the year I was expecting a 12-18 month slog, so I'm so pleased I managed to get it together much quicker. Definitely provides some comfort that I have it.

Hi all, #14 here. I haven't updated since the corona craziness began. I hope everyone is getting through this as best they can. I'm on £9000 now. I may revise my target upwards (from 3 to 6 months of salary) once I hit the existing one, as the current times have reinforced how important it is to have that financial buffer.

The list has been moved to a spreadsheet here instead. I asked the what the preference was and a few said they liked the spreadsheet format (it's easier to update too tbh).

Let me know whether your total is correct when you get chance to look at it.

Hello all, may I join in?  I've just read through the whole thread so far and it really is fantastically supportive and inspiring. 

I've worked really hard to sort out our finances over the last year or so, and my target now is to build up a nice emergency fund.  My target is £9000, of which I currently have £959.25 saved.  

Thanks!

Welcome Confabulate - you are member #41.

Of course you can join - we are a friendly bunch - there is no time limit on you getting to your goal - just pop a bit in when you can and do it at your own pace.

I've updated the spreadsheet with your goal and progress so far, you are on a comfy 10.66% so a big well done already :-)

Keep us updated with how you are doing ....putting in or taking out, it's there for emergencies after all.
