    Just added up my June total. Only £23.45 this month, but I have a new car, and haven't raided the pot at all, and on budget to get to payday with money left in the bank

  • Hello everyone.

    I'm really sorry for my absence lately. I've been having my own problems haha :D

    Thats all the totals and the spreadsheet updated. Were just under a grant total of £13,000 now.

    This is just fantastic. Together we have already saved £13,000 and its just the start of July.

    Lets keep this going. Hopefully I will have more time in the coming weeks to be on here more.

  • I had edited the first page with new links to both the spreadsheet and the update form.

    Spreadsheet - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1--l09j1PnNx1ZnrhtHq2_5XGLUI2cvWnuEusqXQsse4/edit#gid=1990687179

    Update form - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1m3GVJ9dDAdjaNUlIV-jpUjvuDGDvZPjZueBVho63oD4/viewform

    Thanks

    Worked for me too McF thanks. Hope all ok with you. I have put in £31 for July so now up to £243. Form completed. Doing ok on the savings front except have splashed out on theatre tickets for three trips in July/August!! I bought two tickets for a matinee for Matilda as a special birthday treat for my mum for her 80th and it cost me £172 :(


    Also paid for our holiday for Greece in September - hope things sorted out there by then and money put aside to buy travel system for our first grandchild due in October so expensive month all in all.

    Hello. Things weren't good initially however after a few good days on here i'm doing better. I'm now committed to posting on my diary everyday so that's helping.
