    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.
    Thank you :kisses3:

    Hey there :wave: Hoping there's room for one more to join for the rest of the year!

    I'd like to aim for £4500 for the 6 months from July-December, which will let me smash the 10K barrier for the first time ever!
    Welcome aboard! Your challenger number is 184 :)

    Last SO has come out for my regular savers so declaring

    £1650 for July.

    I had one of my regular savers mature this month so not sure if I will use some of the funds to increase next months regular savers. I would open a replacement one but the rate has dropped and I have better places for the money.

    Hope everyone is doing well, I'm updating this from Tenerife and I heard the weather back in the UK has been warming up.

    Pardon me. I didn't realise that there is a junior SF. I am always impressed and have my hats off for parents having to work hard and spend their best on their kids and and try to save as well.

    Happy to help but don't want to hog this thread and confuse those trying to track their own savings.
    I'll make a separate thread in this forum and title it "ArmyDillo Strategy" later in the week.
