  • October was a really expensive month; went on holiday and had my car insurance up for renewal. I was on track to be declaring around £80 ... That changed last week with an interest refund coming through on an old loan from HSBC to the tune of a £462.

    That boost has push me to declaring £545.35 for the month; and past my target for the year :).

    I'm not going to change my target I'm just going to see how far I can get past it in the next two months.

    This thread is so motivating keep up the good work everyone.

    I'm dead chuffed, not reporting yet, but I think I may break £12.5 k on my next report, helped by making £200 on eBay selling the items I found in the spare room wardrobes when I cleared them out.

    More to sell...
