The "Save 12k in 2015' Thread!

Declaring slightly early for May- £1,877 thanks mostly to sales bonus from work.

8 weeks to go to the wedding! Off for a meeting with reception venue later today and then I'm heading to Wembley tomorrow for the FA cup final (fingers and toes crossed for a Villa win!).

Hope you are resting up SF

I've taken it easy this week, and feeling much better need to remember that next week when I'm back at work!

Today Thursday 28 May; I've challenged myself to save £1600 by the DEADLINE on this thread thats £50 each week.

HERE'S TO A BRAND NEW START!

Hello! I'm just checking before I add you to the spreadsheet, do you want your target to be £1,600?

Thanks for the kind messages, everyone I am taking it easy, or trying to. Definitely got a bit of a waddle going on now

Spreadsheet updated

May update and £1,521 saved - We have booked a holiday to Tenerife for July - our first break of the year and it is very much needed!!

I'm expecting a pretty tight couple of months as both car insurances are due, MOT on one and holiday spends etc but hopefully I should be able to siphon enough off without expecting impact on monthly spends.

I'm pleased with this month overall, paid car insurance in one lump plus paid MOT last month so that is two major bills out of the way for now. saved £775 which would not be anything special on it's own in a 5 Friday month but take into account the car insurance it's been a solid saving month of May.

SF - sorry to hear about your scare - hope you can take it easy.


I am declaring £750 for May - I have updated my sig.

declaring 1698 for may. it was not a great month and i anticipate june will be a worse month. bills expected and unforseen have made this month rather expensive. next month will be worse.

Hi Lovelies!!

Many apologies for the lack of action this year on the updatests , life has been somewhat hectic... Having read the last few pages of the thread over my cuppa this morning I've decided it's DEFINITELY time to re-focus and motivate myself from the money side of things!!

We had a spendy month in May, paying for our holiday to Morocco for next week and also blowing the budget at a pretty awesome festival, plus getting the deposit down for our wedding venue... Busy times!!
So, I'm declaring a slightly early £500 in May!

Hope everyone is well and echoing the sentiments re: taking it easy SF!!

Happy Saving!

Love,

Shoot x
