    Yeah don't get disheartened, this is a very personal challenge and you just have to set a target that is just about achievable for you, you'll be amazed at how motivational it is :o

    Car service, MOT, tax, insurance and breakdown cover this month, so another £0 month :(.

    It's been an expensive year, doing stuff round the house. Next month I pay the balance of my dental implant so will be another zero then too. My S&S ISA has dropped a grand, which means I actually have less savings than I'm claiming on the thread spreadsheet which I'll not adjust now but make up in coming months (I hope!).

    At least this thread makes one aware of spends and savings, rather than money just disappearing as if through a leaky bucket. A big savings push will be required in the last quarter!
