I've decided I'm going to pay my EF into my PBs when I reach £100, it's a safe place to pot it, and there is always the chance of a win.
I already have £100 in PB, so this now gets added to my EF total.

Big Congrats to everyone who has managed to save towards their 3 - 6 month EF this year.
It has been a challenging year with energy bills and the cost of living crisis but you've all done positive things with your savings.
As a group we have saved a massive £182292.81 - that is huge!!!!
You should all be very proud of yourselves, you've done great!
As we go into 2023 - I wish you all the very best for a healthy & happy new year.
And remember.....keep on keeping on.
