    Reporting £823 for August.

    HTB ISA - £200
    Sharesave plan - £223
    S&S ISA - £400

    Submitted my August figure to the google s/s.

    A few outgoings (MOT, minor car repair, Tottenham tickets) has resulted in a lower figure this month. Reporting only £423 for September.

    HTB ISA - £200
    Sharesave plan - £223

    Submitted to the google s/s.

    That update takes me to: £8,002.38/£12,000.00 (67%)

  • Hello all,

    I've just came across this thread as before, my target was to get rid of my debt. Now that I'm debt free (as of today) I need to start saving as I want to buy my first house next year.

    I LOVE a good spreadsheet and I was super impressed with how organised this is.

    Am I too late to join? Even if I made my target for the remaining 2 months? If not, it's ok. I'll save for now and start in January.

    Looks like people are doing pretty well over here :)

    My September update is £581.79 (form re-submitted - sorry SF!). Another not great month - I'm still paying off this car service loan (it would have been over £800 otherwise) - but my new unofficial target is £300 into my First Direct regular saver and £200 into my HtB ISA and anything else is excellent. Definitely won't be hitting my target now but trying to mitigate the damage!
