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

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.

£1400 for July, sf! Getting there unexpectedly by the grace of a paid back loan from over five years ago and a pension lump sum unexpected, as previously stated.

I've posted on the update form.

Had a look on the spreadsheet and think I may just be in the lead percentage-wise at this point, but as I've said, sheer fluke because of the loan and pension lump sum. No credit to me.

Thanks for all your help in getting going.

I'm recording £853 for July (update form posted)
