    #190 reporting. I did it! £500 in August pushes me to £12,000! 100% of my year's target! I've never been able to save this much before so I'm very very happy with it!

    Just another £13,000 to go before I'm at my overall deposit target now!

    Gang,

    Another apology for being truly shocking at updating over the summer!! Lots of holidays and trips away are the excuse - and also the reason for lower-than-normal savings!! However, a great time had by all, so no guilty feelings!

    I have saved £400 in July and will update August at the end of the month, but looks like it will be a similar figure!! Needing to knuckle down to the end of the year to hit target now!!

    Lots of love & luck,

    Shoot xxx
