Sorry I've not updated the spreadsheet - I'm going to do a big sort out tomorrow. I've been on holiday so not had change - hope no one minds

VERY late update for July!

I saved £582 in July...

...which brings my 2014 (to date) total to £5,923...

...and my overall total to £80,500!

I've hit the £80k mark, I'm sooooo chuffed!!!!! I feel like I should celebrate

:beer:

Well done to everyone and thanks as ever to slowlyfading xx

I know it is late in the year, but can I join? I would like to save £5000 in what is remaining of 2014. I have some money due (hopefully) from the sale of a car, but that will not count towards this total.

Not at all! Your challenger number is #017 - welcome aboard!

Oh dear things are not going well this month!

My laptop has died on me and I'm in the middle of some experiments (psychology student). I had a decent laptop on order for tomorrow but made the FATAL mistake of going to peecee world and fell in love with a Macbook! In my defence though, I did come home and find best price for it. This has severely affected my savings though

It's only fatal until you realise that Macbook's last a LOT longer than PCs.

Don't forget that you get a student discount via Apple, as well as the cheaper (£49 iirc) and longer (excellent) warranty and a £60 iTunes/Appstore voucher if you buy through them.

LAM - what a truly remarkable achievement. At that rate you will be streaking past us all with your savings efforts! Good luck to you.

Thank you. Although I don't think I will be streaking past - I keep thinking of things I want to buy which is why I really need to be part of another challenge.
