Well the good news is my new EF is £1140, the bad news the boiler has packed in:( I have someone coming round to give me a quote so am expecting my EF to be wiped out but am trying to look on the bright side at least I have the EF and it's not all going on the credit card Xx

Oh no! Why do they always seem to go at this time of year? But well done on having an EF to help ease the pain.:)

Thanks you, I could cry right now but I won't, onwards and upwards Xx

It's small consolation but you don't have to go into debt to get a new boiler...
I needed a fridge and a washing machine this year which completely wiped my ef out - but at least it was there...
My ef now stands at a staggering £17.66 :rotfl: small steps.

Morning Everyone


[Deleted User] - I've Updated the First Page....I'm sorry to hear your news.....but it's good that you have it there to be able to spend rather than going into Debt to sort it out....and it can always be built up again.....Keep the faith hun xXx


Morning DuranGirl .... You're absolutely right in what you say....And I hope you are well....


crazy_cat_lady - Small steps are good....They will build the Foundations to get you to where you want to be!! I've Updated the First Page....Stick with it hun xXx


Nothing to Report from me until I go to the Bank later on....I've got Virgin Media round this morning and I don't know when they will show up or how long it will take....fingers crossed they arrive at 8am and are done by 9am...

Commiserations to everyone who needs, or has recently needed, to spend a lot on replacing major items. Hugs to you, [Deleted User] x.


My washing machine is still dead, the repair man didn't turn up as he's put his back out:eek:. I'm not even sure if the cost of repair is worth spending as I don't know what it died from yet. Am fully prepared to dig deep into my EF for getting it/a new one in action. I just thank my lucky stars that I found this thread and have managed to get the EF cushion in the first place:beer:.

Morning carbootcrazy hun .... I'm sorry to hear that your Washing Machine hasn't been fixed!! I hope it gets sorted soon...and yes, it's GREAT that you have the money you need to be able to fix it or buy a new one without going into Debt....

Good Morning, Helen, you're up and about early like me:beer:


Well,I might be up early but I'm obviously not fully awake yet as I posted on the wrong EF thread:o. I still haven't managed to put anything into your 3-6 months EF, it's patman's £1000 EF where I've managed to stash something. Once 2016 starts I hope/plan to save a bit in both at the same time;)


Good Luck with Virgin Media. I hate waiting in for people, especially if they don't turn up and don't bother to let you know (like my washing machine man:().


Have a good day:beer:

DreamerHelen

I'm usually up early carbootcrazy


LoL Don't worry about posting in the wrong Thread....It IS early.... And it's still good that you have something stashed away to pay for everything...


I know you will start your 3-6 month EF when you can....Like I have said before, it's a long-haul for most of us.....It will certainly take me years and years to get there....but I WILL get there...and so will you
