Hi everyone, I can only report savings of £37.02 for June. Mainly because I have a 0% Credit card which will expire the end of this month so anything I would save has been thrown at the CC.
However I will be back in July!0 -
I emptied my piggy bank last night and counted over £50, can't wait to get that to the bank and push up my total a little.Santander 0% £1,529.94

Hello folks ...can't sleep so thought I'd pop in to update.
I took a wee holiday to Turkey this month, and had a bit of a pre-holiday-excitement splurge beforehand! Still, I've managed to save £310 in June.

Updating my total - through some miracle I've managed to focus and hit the £10k mark!
I very nearly spent it all on a house deposit but un/fortunately someone else bought the house first so I'm still saving as it wasn't meant to be.
My exact total as of July is £10,360.
I'm expecting August and September's savings to take a bit of a hit because I need to learn to drive and then buy a car by October, but I won't be in any debt at all so I'm surprisingly relaxed about the process.0 -
Hi everyone!
Haven't updated in a while, but I'm excited to say that I've hit my 12k target
I've currently saved £14,050 for 2014 which already exceeds my 2013 total 0 -
I've been on holiday the past week meaning it's a bit tricky to now work out June's savings (especially since I have holiday spending money to convert back - not sure whether to include that in June or July).
I think I'll wait until end of July and then split the saved amount equally between June and July. 0
