    £2,992.15 for the month. Down on last month slightly.

    Now almost 3/4 the way to my target set at the start of the year & I've now set a new target of trying to reach £40k total savings by the end of the year which I'll round up to a target of £30k for this thread.
    Mortgage (Nov 15): £79,950 | Mortgage (May 19): £71,754 | Mortgage (Sep 22): £0
    Cashback sites: £900 | £30k in 2016: £30,300 (101%)

    shocked to learn financial advice firm Hargreaves Lansdown gave £3.2m to the Leave.EU campaign.

    closed my account

    looking to save elsewhere

    Yes I was amazed to read that too. Luckily I am with Cavendish or I would move too. Hargreaves is expensive. Look at Cavendish or Charles Stanley

    Hi everyone - well June has been a disastrous month for me, savings wise. I have had to dig quite deeply into my savings which I really hate to do, but could not be helped. My balance is £6.700 #176. I am hoping for a better July.

    Slowly, hope all is well with you. I think I made a mistake on my update for June (I'm number 101). The total of my savings for June is £9170, simply because a friend repaid a loan made over five years ago and I got my pension lump sum.

    Hope you and yours are well.

    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.
