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.

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.

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

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.

Welcome :-0)

I have £692 to add for end of April.

Strange to say that although this is above what I hoped to save each month I feel a bit disappointed due to what I manged the last 2 months lol.

Hello everyone,

I think I'm reporting for April as well as part of March and May so apologies if I'm not too clear on my figures. I make it another €4300 or so in that time so have updated by signature accordingly. We are getting closer to taking the plunge with buying a house, debating whether to go for a bigger and better house (with a bigger mortgage) or to buy more conservatively and take on a more manageable debt. I am really inspired by the folks over on the mortgage-free wannabe thread, which leads me to think smaller is better! But so many people have other views on this. Any advice from anyone on here would be appreciated, as I guess some of you are also saving for a deposit.

Maybe your in the wrong thread? Debt free wannabe maybe?

No I don't have any debt. I've been saving since I started work, but every so often you have to spend some of the savings (that's what they're there for) - and I seem to have had a few of those so far this year. Some boring (work on the house, keeping the car running) and some fun (holiday, gig tickets). So although my total savings have dipped a bit this year, there's still plenty there and I'll be able to post a nice positive number for 2016 in a month or two.
