Go girl. I was asked if I would be starting a '3 months living expenses challenge' thread, but I will leave that for someone else to do. I am also aiming for 3 months worth of wages in my account/s and am 1/3 of the way there.
That reminds me, I must check to see if my IIB has appeared in my account as this can be used to bolster my savings.
Anyway, no update on job contract front other than that I had a call from an Agency who were looking to fill a role they had on their books. It is a higher rate of pay, so this might be something worth following-up.Never Knowingly Understood.

Hi Everyone!
Hope everyone is having a fab Monday!
Well done, nellis:T
My Monday has been anything but fab:(. Have just paid out another £112.53 at vet's, making £154.53 in the past fortnight. Sadly, this means my EF has had to take a hit but at least I had enough to cover this latest emergency thanks to patman's brilliant thread:j

Checked my account I use for my EF and it has grown by 33p thanks to the monthly interest.
Having reached the mid-point of the month with a healthy amount in my main account, I am very happy with how things are going.Never Knowingly Understood.
