    Current balance: £146,889.57, meaning it's dropped £12,610.43 since the challenge began. :D May slow down for the next quarter, as we've got some house improvement spends coming up, but we'll see.

    Have just submitted my first update. I have had lots of expenditure in the first quarter, but it has given me the opportunity to assess how I would like to approach this challenge.

    Way behind but years to go!
