    May I join? I have £10 but am expecting a bit of money when my benefits come through, which I will put in an ISA.
    Of course you can! What do you want your target to be?

    She will get to you, don't worry. Slowlyfading is another member like us who generously volunteers to keep track of the challenge for us so she won't visit the thread daily. As it's nearing month end she will be updating again soon :)
    Thanks guys - I'm back now :o and updating as we speak! :D

    I'm very sorry to hear about your mum Sparrer.


    Declaring an amazing £2k for October. MSE and this thread are really helping me focus on not spending my overtime. House deposit at 15.5k. I'm tragically proud of myself as a reformed spendthrift.


    Updated spreadsheet.(no 108!)
    Mortgage overpayments 2018: £4602, 2019: £7870
    Mortgage overpayments 2020: £4620
    Mortgage 2017 £145K, June 2020 £112.6k:o
