    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!!!!   :open_mouth:
    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.  B)
    And remember.....keep on keeping on.

  • #69 here. Finally been paid for two extra shifts I did a while back (a good few weeks late!) but this means I have increased my EF to £1190 today  :)

    I'm a bit worried about my cat losing some weight despite having a good appetite, I have increased his amount of food and will see if it improves. If not it will be a trip to the vet and having to dip into the EF but that is what it is there for!
