Hi all,
Hope you are all keeping safe. I'm thankful for the small things at the moment, like the sun finally shining into my lounge again now it's higher in the sky.
Like some of you, I have decided to stop my monthly OP on my mortgage and stash it into my savings instead. It's only £112 but I figure it may come in handy. My emergency fund isn't amazing after moving house and the bigger mortgage, so if I am lucky enough to ride this out with a job still, I will focus on splitting any further OPs between the two.
Best wishes!

Good idea everyone that is building a bit more of an emergency buffer so that the money is a bit more accessible. Stay safe everyoneSave £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £4863.32 out of £6000 after May (81.05%)

Hi All
a few TTs throughout the month to add to March- TOTAL MARCH = £2876.68
YTD = £4969.31
Thinking of everyone at this troublesome time. Not sure if not going out will mean less spend but the thought of reduced income is scary!

Thank you for the update! Would you be able to have a look at the spreadsheet to check if I've got your previous payments logged right, because I don't have the same total as you atm? Thank you!
