    #42 declaring £200 for May.

    We completed on our house purchase at the end of April and now that big purchase is out the way we have decided on the next big expense.. The wedding!

    We have enquired to book 11th August 2016 with our venue so I've got to get my savings in gear as my half will be around £4500!

    Currently at £1200/£3500 for the year and hopefully I'll hit target for the end of 2015 with some tight purse strings and some nice bonuses from work :beer:

    Hi all,

    #213 I'm declaring a total savings of £102 this month. I did pay off my holiday for next year this month which was £2,500. So now that is out of the way I can focus on the saving for my car settlement figure.

    Echoing everyone else "take it easy SF" xxx

    Declaring £3425.90 for May, taking me to almost £14.5k overall. Annual interest for one ISA and a tax refund helped a lot :)

    Also happy as another ISA matured and I've dumped the lot on the mortgage, taking me a year closer to seeing the end of that - not counted as 'savings' as it's not new money, but a nice step along the way nonetheless.
