Thanks @Dobbibill. I am currently working on my £1k emergency fund, while I pay off some loans, so I guess I could start with that? £200 so far, although it has been a bit like the Hokey Cokey with it going in and out this year. Maybe you can keep me honest 😬Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien
