September is a non starter for savings for me. New boiler installed at the beginning of month and just paid out for 2 new laptops for OH and me as his died last month and we got discount for two so replaced mine too as they are both 7 or 8 years old. 2 expensive payouts in one month. Hopefully October will be better but OH retires at end of the month.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.
