    Well done all you EF savers and commiserations to all who have needed to deplete theirs.


    The 2 car tyres I had to buy in mid December that OH organised for me and temporarily paid for on his card haven't caused me to have to raid my EF after all:j. OH said they can be his treat instead of a Christmas present:rotfl:. I think he must have had a brainstorm:eek: as he never buys Christmas presents for me or anyone else normally so that was a real result.

    Hi, please can I join? I had £100 in mine then got a vet's bill (I guess the point of having this fund) which leaves the total at £1.21!!! So a long way to go.
