Hope everyone is doing well, sorry I haven't managed to keep up to date but just submitted my numbers and update my siggy for August and September.
After a few years at this my savings account is looking really quite healthy, so I have been swatting up on the where to from here in terms of diversification and improving my returns, so have taken a bit of a punt and made the first step towards being a real investor and put £500 into Exchange Traded Funds. :TMortgage

Good to see so many people doing so well
Good job all!0 -
I saved 2 grand gross this month :eek: as I was owed back pay. However that was before allowing for my dental implant, forward funding a weekend away and my niece's 21st. My S&S ISA is still worth less than I paid in, and there's a big dent in savings after getting new carpets and redecorating.
So my total savings this year are still less than on the spreadsheet, but next month I should have made it up. I don't think I'll hit my amended target this year, but intend making the deficit up in 2016, touch wood.
Thanks Slowlyfading for keeping us all on the straight and narrow, especially now you have other lovely commitments! It's is much appreciated.Save £12k in 2022 thread #7:

No 207 recording £711.63 for October bringing my total to £10,919.87. (Car service, tyres and a new laptop for husband's birthday this month really brought the sum down.) Sadly, unless I get a really good Christmas bonus I'm not going to make my target... Oh well, it was only target after all.“And all shall be well. And all shall be well.

£901.43 declared for October.
An odd amount as its the first month I've been Tilly Tiding small amounts everyday from my current account and moving it across to savings. This gave me an extra £34.43 overall. Definitely going to keep doing this! Should hit my yearly target by the end of November0 -
