  • I've saved £600 this month bringing my total so far to £2730, although a few unexpected costs have occurred for our wedding in July so may need to dip into savings.

    Away to update my sig!

    Happy saving guys ;)

    Have managed to save £651.68 in May which I'm quite pleased with as it was an expensive month. I'm now up to £4,405 which means I'm about £600 off pace, but I don't think I'm doing too badly! Front page updated with this months totals...

    Congrats Allie23, that's great news :)

    We managed £707.49 for this month. I'm happy enough with that though considering that we had to renew our house insurance, plus we both paid off £50 from our student loans (so £100 total). This was due to learning about the Welsh Loan Cancellation policy - so those payments resulted in our student loans being reduced by £3,000 between us :j

    The interest rate on student loans is low (currently 1.5%) so we won't overpay in the future, but wiping off £3k was worth doing ;)

    £215 total for me for May - I had been on target for a lot more, but we got the credit card bill in which included flights to San Francisco for my DH and my Father in Law - though it was best to bite the bullet and pay them off straight away :-) Back on track for June I think!

    Hope everyone else has a good month :-)
