    Managed a wee bit more this month, so £610 for me. Still behind target, but I'm almost half-way there now! I think that's enough to turn my total yellow in the mega spreadsheet...

    I'm feeling optimistic about August too; I just have to resist the temptation to go too crazy at the Edinburgh Fringe.

    Managed £675.4 :shocked: Not sure how I achieved such a large number. Overspent on food and petrol this month :| And also had 6 monthly water bill come.

    £31.40 was selling my old DVDs on eBay. £138.82 was work expenses being paid back to me. £7.36 interest from savings.

    August will probably be an expensive month.

    Really great seeing you all saving so hard. Good luck all! :T
