Lucky you matttye, hope my mot doesnt throw up any suprises, last year it cost me about £1,600 in the end.

That's more than I paid for my car, geez!!

I bet you drive something more extravagant than a ford KA though

Good luck!

£808.28 stashed away for real this time, not against debt - not quite as much as I was planning, but I got the air conditioning in my car fixed ... bliss

£0 to report for June after an unexpected communal electricity bill, car insurance etc.

Hoping for the usual £500 in July, with any extra due to be spent on a september holiday.

Billie-jo

Half way through the year and good to see so many still managing to put some savings aside.

£40 gone into the bank today taking me up to 71% so y hopefully £3000

alja

£1000 went away for June just sent my update.

YoungBusinessman I saw you say about people your age not being able to afford to do things until payday etc... That's so true for many people I know too! I feel so proud of myself not having to wait until payday comes around to be able to say "yes! I can do that/buy that!" I'm so glad I've started saving already

Managed to put £300 in my savings today. Most I have done in one month before. Really happy

What's wrong with this board?
A new spammer came yesterday and posted 44 pointless and useless posts in 50 minutes just to build the post count. This one was thanked two times :eek: .

dramarama and matttye, are you blind? What were your thanks for? Are you just doing your best to devalue 'thanks' on this forum?

If I was blind I couldn't hit the thanks button!

I don't look at people's post histories every time I read their posts. Nearly every post in this thread is thanked, so why single us out?

The button is big. It's worth reading the post before hitting it.

Yes, that's the point. As I said, something is wrong with this board.

I can't read every single post to see if they were useful or not. I just was surprised that yesterday's spammer was thanked 5 times and checked the thanked posts. The one in questions certainly wasn't useful in the slightest.

I use it as more of a 'like' button, like many others.

It's like a 'well done for saving' thing in this thread.
