As predicted for October I have had to dip into saving so reporting a negative of -£348.43 (form submitted). I'm okay with this as i'm still on target thanks to this thread and part of it is owed to me but I won't count it until I get it back.
Well done everyone!
Very happy to report saving of £1163.30 this month, reaching and exceeding my target! I feel like I can spoil myself this Christmas with my December pay check, but I still aim to save as much as I can from it.
I've also decided to over pay my mortgage with my pay rise but will start that in the new year and feel comfortable doing so now that I have rebuilt my nest egg.

Found out I'll get paid on the 21st this month which is a little annoying (we're usually last working day of the month) for end of year declarations, but at least I suppose January's expenses can sit and earn some interest for a few weeks. My finances are in a pretty good state these days so 6 weeks between pay is not a problem, but I'm anticipating lots of very skint coworkers in January.Save 12K in 2018 #20 - £20,890/£18,000 (116%) November £1950

Thats the horrible bit of December pay, but now we can plan around it so the 6 weeks cycle isn't so harsh...
I get paid on the 16th normally the 20th, so not too early.

Mine's on 15th, normally 24th so I am expecting to bebone of the skint coworkers in January. Plus OH birthday in Jan too.
Another £750 in 13 days but then no savings excitement until 2018!
I know it's the point and everything but I am really pleased with the difference this thread has made. I've gone from a vague must save to pay the interest-only mortgage to actually doing it!https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6621582/ynab-robber-needs-help-to-execute-the-plan/p1
