    We are getting a couple things done in the house so I think my September savings will be low. I will tell you when I know the correct amount.
    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.

    :( Sorry to read that, what a lot of stress for you.xxx

    Been missing in action I'm afraid. Had a really spendy month in august and got a little bit depressed using my savings to buy a computer. Does anyone else find that they have problems using their savings?

    September is already a bit of a headache as our granddaughter will be staying at ours 2 days a week while our DD works, so we've had to buy some books and toys, a high chair and a car seat.

    So managed £221.80 in August which is good considering but that £6000 target is still far away. Never mind, what ever the amount it's still something.
