    Hi guys

    Hope you are all ok, how are you doing helen, weekend yeah

    it wasn't a good work week for me and left me a bit down so had yet another rethink and im going to up my emergency savings again for a while in case of worse case scenario

    Ive been putting £10 a week into my emergency pot and any remainder trying to pay down my interest only mortgage but after this week im going to split any spare cash differently till i feel brighter about things

    I got a tax refund this week so ive some in the pot (the total is £1,500 in there now)!

    take care

    I've just had to shell out £190 for a new phone as mine is dying, so I won't be able to put in for a little bit! But I'm just pleased I can afford to cover little emergencies like this.

    They didn't tell accounts in time so still got the same funds this week. So I put it into the emergency funds, along with 4p interest
    So I now have £550 in my funds.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Hi

    I hope everyone is doing ok. I have added to my fund today so it now stands at £1920
    Next month I should hit 50%, it's very slow but I don't think I would even have got to that without this thread. Thanks, Helen, for keeping everyone updated and motivated. X
