Amen to that!! Road tax this month and insurance due middle of August!! Road tax has gone up, insurance come down alot since i turned 22 since last renewal and that extra year old + another years no claims has halved my insurance in a year. Still the company im with sent me a renewal at £515, went on their site and its down to £390! How about rewarding a bit of loyalty!! My renewal quote was going to be an extra £25 to change my address aswel so would have been £540 as opposed to cancel and start again its £150 cheaper. Makes no sense!

Congratulations for tomorrow, anything special planned? You are one of the only ones on this thread im sure is male!! :beer:

Ha Thanks, our anniversary consisted of breakfast at a local cafe, then I did the romantic thing and went off to Pre-season footy training in the afternoon, but I kept the Missus sweet by taking her to a local restaurant that I had heard good reviews about! It didnt let me down either, it was a lovely meal! Well done on getting the car insurance down, spending an extra hour searching for quotes can end up saving you some decent cash!

After payday + bonus, interest on savings account and some spare holiday money, I have put £865.60 away. All updated using the link and in my sig.

5 more paydays to go before I start getting maternity pay. Hopefully would have smashed the £5k target though to tide me over for a while

July update from me!

My new total is £69,148, so I managed to save £967 in July! Quite pleased with that.

I'm still aiming to save £13,000 in 2013 - I've saved £6,948 so far, so it'll be very challenging to save £6,052 in the next five months. But we'll see!

Very exciting to be almost at the £70,000 mark

I've just been reading through, you lot should all be so proud of yourselves.

Confession: I've been feeling a bit crap because my 2013 savings haven't been as good as I'd planned, but seeing that I've saved almost £7,000 so far this year has made me feel really positive. That's not bad at all!

Also, I haven't done any eBay selling in ages, so there's still potential for making a few extra quid before the year is out.

£700 for July, not as much as hoped, but when it comes to certain bills...needs must! Should be much better next month

To my surprise I've managed to put away £622 this month! There's me thinking I would only manage £300

I'm so excited to update today, feels like I have been waiting months rather than just one month. So, managed to squeeze out £362.16 this month taking my total for the year so far up to £3,010! Sooo pleased.

Thank you slowlyfading for your continued work here and thank you to everyone for the posts along the way.

If you fancy it, give me a pm for the code to get the £5 off(deal above says £25) and I'll talk you through it. It states new customer only but you just need a new email address I've been a 'new' customer a few times before so it deffo works.

Edit: SOLD OUT
