    Late update for April. I put it off for 2 weeks as I thought it would be really hard to get all the numbers together but in the end it was a 15 minute job!

    Morning all,

    Forgot to update April. I managed to put away £600.

    I move in to my property next week, so my savings amount will change, pretty drastically. I'll do my best.

    I really love checking in with this post and seeing how much we're all achieving together, it really does help spur you on to the end goal!

    No 075 Checking in for May I've saved£968.19 so far this month, not my best month but it's been a busy one as we were on holiday last week which ended up costing more than I'd planned.

    But that takes the total so far this year to £6,399.79 which I'm happy with :) Still way to go though!

  • April's Savings £349.25. Not a bad month but May will wipe this out. Need to start saving for birthdays, surprisingly they are the same day every year!

    Any savings in May will be a bonus!

    How are you ensuring your savings aren't 'losings' as Martin puts it, with the inflation rate standing at 2.7%?

    Hi everyone,

    I thought I had posted an update a few days ago but don't think it saved! I'm posting a very late update from April - I managed to save £650.

    I've been able to set up a H2B so deposited some money into that whilst saving for a few extra things (actual house deposit and holiday fund).

    Hopefully I'll be on time with May's update!

    Happy saving :)
