The dreaded MOT, insurance and service month, still managed to save £1000 for May.0

Reporting April: -£214.42, meaning I'm -£714.45 for the year... hmmmmm
I think I'll be a way off the target this year! It's partly due to paying off a credit card I'd used for stoozing, and buying various tickets and things where people will pay me back over the year. Might be back in black in May if I'm really lucky but more likely to be June at the earliest! At least the savings I already have are now in the high interest current accounts doing some work
Ooo and I should get a bit of overtime payment at the end of May too - just remembered (it's been delayed) - hurray!0 -

ooo. What phone is this? I am always looking out for the next buy!.
It's a mini iphone 6!:cool:
Got it on eBay. It's basically an iphone 5s refitted into a brand new curved iphone 6 style case.
It's perfect for me because the iphone 6s is too big for my liking.Plan to save £100k:

Declaring £1700 for May, my first declaration of the year in this challenge. Hopefully if I can keep this up I will mostly have caught up by the end of the year.
I'm declaring this now so it makes it more difficult for me to overspend so I don't end up withdrawing any part of this savings.MFW 2018/19 #55 target: £6,847.26/ £500 paid0 -
Confession time: although I saw this thread before, I didn't realise goals could be amounts other than 12k
Is it still OK to join in this late in the year? If so, my goal will be £6k SPC - #483 [banked £134.15] - :staradmin :staradmin gold stars from Sue-UU!

Of course, I'm sure Slowly Fading will be along soon to allocate a number, but you can continue to save while you are waiting.
The updating is just like my challenge so you already know what to do.
