    Just passed the 50% mark and we're halfway through the year. A promotion at work last month means that I should easily hit the target and we're well on the way to the house deposit. Enjoy the weekend :)

    Hi Slowlyfading - can I change my target.

    I'm paying of a kitchen and have other expenses this year so my original target is not realistic and would like to change it to £3000. I also have to reduce my savings by -£1012:o. I haven't spent it all but I paid £300 off my kitchen and some of my savings will be for my holiday this year and I will not have it by the end of the year - so it wouldn't be right to keep it in this challenge. Ok that is me all sorted :D.

  • £0 for me again and a credit card bill to pay from my 2 holidays.

    Need to get my saving head back on after I pay for my holidays. Was great though.

    July is going to be a very lean month for me, as will August. I have to pay for exterior house decoration, car bodywork (oh dear), a plumber's bill for boiler service and maintenance and a stone specialist to see to the marble kitchen floor (this the result of using a cloth soaked in Milton of all things to clean a few blobs off the floor. An expensive floorcloth). My income is down as well but I will try and put something into the savings just to maintain the momentum.

    Maybe people are off on holiday and that's why it's so quiet.:)
