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.0 -

Ill declare now as im not sure i can contribute much more by end of the month, maybe few hundred quid but uncertain due to bills.
So, #73 with £1,800 for May, taking my total to £6,000.

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!

How are you ensuring your savings aren't 'losings' as Martin puts it, with the inflation rate standing at 2.7%?0

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 saving0 -
