    Hi Slowyfading. Just noticed that my fig for June is incorrect on the spreadsheet. My fault as I sent the wrong fig in. My June savings were £340 not £190. I did post an email but it probably got overlooked. Sorry for any confusion:)

    No you haven't slowlyfading! You've had a little junior slowlyfading and are only on maternity wages! I think you're doing really well, considering.

    Hello SlowlyFading

    Another £1000 saved this month. A little bit closer to that 85% LTV

    Success of the week: Just managed to get RAC down from £120 renewal quote to £64, bought and paid for, in under 10 minutes on the phone. I was worst-case-scenario budgeting £100 for breakdown cover so this is a nice little boost to the month's savings :) Also, there's just something satisfying about getting 46% off from a big player like that.

    I could have got the same thing for £4 less from Green Flag, after cashback, but I have had to use RAC and they were fantastic (sort of unfortunately - in a way I wanted them not to be good so I didn't want to renew with them, because they're expensive!). And with my 11 year old banger the reassurance that it'll be ok if it breaks down is getting more important each year.

    Anyway, I'm pleased :)
