Declaring £419.59 saved this month if I've done my sums right (I keep forgetting that my H2B ISA exists ) which leaves me a very annoying £1.32 in the savings red

At least next month I'm guaranteed to be back in the black :j

I know I'm probably a bit late to the party but as I did start saving I was wondering if I could still join?!

I'm hoping to save £6,000 this year and so far I have saved £2,378.43.

£1569.09 saved in June, obviously watching the stock markets but things seem to be ok so far, well done to everyone who is sticking this challenge out, everyone of you is an inspiration!

Hello,

I wanted to clear my overdraft before I started saving this year but I need the (admittedly illusory) psychological boost of seeing anything other than a big fat 0 in the savings pot so I've put in £2400 in June.
I'm still determined to clear the OD regardless and have really made the effort to curb my costly outings over the past few weeks, allowing myself only 1 big night one a month from now on. Also, I will move out from my flat and try to find a much cheaper flatshare in September so this will help (love the comfort but in the end I just can't accept overpaying that much, bloody inflated London rents). Now, provided I don't increase the OD and find the right balance between spending and enjoyment in July during my 5-week holiday, I should be able to clear it by the end of October, while still contributing to the savings pot so that I can reach my target.

Yey to me being pragmatic and diligent! Seeing others do the same inspires!

Hello everyone,
I don't know what it is about June but every year I give in to a lot of unnecessary spending. I have spent so much on new clothes and weekends away to see loved ones. So I'm reporting an off target £1300 for June. I have a few large bills due in July so I think that will be very similar.
