Thanks lalman :j, it's so frustrating, but in times gone by, that would've been a credit card bill, so it is indeed progress

Unfortunately my DH thinks money should be spent and not saved. He would be looking at buying luxury cars with the money whereas I would rather have the cash sitting in my savings account. I am working on him though ... !

What is DH?

136: my total is £4350 as of today. So so happy!

Sorry will update but have had a very stressful and still month. Firstly my 11 1/2 yr old cat suddenly became ill and within 5 days I had to put him now. Then my mother has a knee operation, following day dad collapses in the bathroom - emergency services called out and sent to hospital. Mum in another hospital has a few complications. Spent time back and forth between them.


So basically May, June and July £200 each month and August £500. Will have to wait for Sept as with vet bills, diesel and takeaway meals with probably max my credit cards.

under £700 to go now, so will hit target next week when the next set of SOs go out

Happy to say that i'm now at £18,670 so target achieved

Will keep going to the end of the year though, another £3,100 would take me past £40k saved for the '13 and '14 challenges combined, which seems a nice goal

August was a spendy month for me. We had a holiday in a cottage in Wales, the credit card ended it's 0% so had to be paid in full and we had some garden improvements done.

I managed to save £220.53 - I'm not sure it's going to help lift that total SF
