 So i'm a bit above £25k so far, very pleased with how the year's gone 0 0

            The breaks were well and truly applied to my savings progress back in the summer! Mainly because I decided I needed a holiday and hence we went away for a week but also had some other unplanned costs which meant savings had been limited.0
- 
            Currently on track to reach target by end of the year and that was with not being able to save anything for a few months due to "life" throwing in a few challenges....
