    One for yesterday and an early call for today. I must do better in September than I did in August 🙈 spent all my "treat" savings last month keeping the kids entertained for the summer holidays and I have my sons birthday next month and of course, Christmas is fast approaching.

    Starting September with £2750 in my emergency fund, £2203 paid off my mortgage (additional payment above my standard repayment), nothing in Christmas fund but I have bought quite a bit and put it away so still on track and nothing in my car fund, but only because I've just paid two car insurances for the year.

    Thanks CB and good luck moneysavers 😁

  • One for me today but then I go on holiday (again) tomorrow so not likely to be another until next week.
