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.

Soz, but I just did this and got logged out of the site when I tried to post.
Lost the lot.

I may count to ten and try again one day.

I shall be the first waiting for it! Don't you forget about this!

I might start mine someday when I have more to write about. Still a beginner.

Not sure how much help it will be, but I did count to ten.
It's quite a long thread as I've explained a lot of the reasoning behind my decisions as well, good luck:-

This is what I'm doing, although I'm just at the beginning of my journey. You're doing great!

Thanks SF (sorry I missed your post - getting old, heheheh).
I wish I'd done it earlier.
Didn't start until I was forty.
lol
Hope it works out, for both of us.

I would normally spend my weekends shopping but now the money is just sitting there, earning interest, while I explore different places and catch Pokemon!

Sometimes I wish I am not so sensible and be young and foolish for once. Haha

Hi all! It's been a terrible couple of months for me savings-wise (and time-wise, hence the lack of posts). Many unexpected outgoings, but I did scrape together 1k over 3 months. Hopefully, I'll be able to increase that soon enough. Although, I might have to move in October and that will be an additional expense...

Its been a terrible couple of months for me too, emincosi

But have scraped together £400 odd to round up my savings total and there are still 5 months to go!

Form updated. Thanks SF

Likely to hit my £10k target next month or the month after - not changing my target for now as we're having major building work done. Just sent an extra form for July.
