Hi Dobbi


Can you please note my goal as 16000. I figure I will go for 6 months plus some extra. It's going to take a long time, so I plan to get my emergency fund challenge sorted first, and then start building this up, and evaluate progress at year end. Thank you:j

Closed down a bank account I didn't need anymore and put £100 of it into my EF so now on £500

Happy Friday everyone, it is that time of the week when I transfer £20 out of my current account into my Emergency fund. £480 now

I'm away for a few days from tomorrow so if I don't reply please don't think you're being ignored.

I will do a full update including the number shuffle when I get back.



Keep on keeping on

I need to do this. Find a little online savings account and dedicate it to this. I will start with 100.

Thanks Dobbibill! I think I should keep it at £3000 to keep motivated - I have managed to add £100 on payday after doing a no spend January so now at £600

I've joined Deliveroo to help with my triathalon training (definately been racking up some hilly miles) I'm putting all my 'wages' into my EF, as I work full time anyway so this is extra pennies.


£70.35 paid in last week
£110.13 paid in this week (includes a £50 referal fee from my brothers code)


EF total £242.75/£5000

Haven't been very observant, only just realised this is not the original 3-6 months thread. Can however see the sense of a new one. Looking at finances for next financial year, a couple of bills have come through already so I know what those will be for next year. Expecting a few more changes as well. Once I get those I can look at how much to put towards this savings next year. Looking at reviewing how I organise my finances. Not too sure how yet. Currently I make one weekly payment from my salary account to an account from which is distributed throughout the month to accounts I make payments from. That account has £1500 in it. I am considering adjusting the monthly payment so that it is either sent direct to the relevant accounts or to a new holding account. Just need to go through the sums.
