    I've declared £1112.38 for May. Edging back towards hitting the 50% mark after June after a poor couple of months.

    Well done everyone; very easy to slide away when the sun shines and lots of costly outdoors things offer themselves as distractions and temptations

    Managed to scrape together a bit more cash this month so number 6 updating my earlier declaration to £1924.69 total for this month . So please ignore my previous declaration for this month slowly fading. I'm finally out of negative digits and paid off the money I had to take out of savings at the start of the year... but this means only 468 saved though. Have to work hard to get to that £7000 by end of the year.

    You need to put a form in (at the bottom of the first post) so that Slowlyfading adds you. Good luck

    Brilliant thanks Suffolk Lass - as you can tell I'm a newbie to actually posting despite lurking around the forums for quite a long time...:p

    Once again, saved £1250 but paid another £1000 off the holiday. So + £250 on the month.

    #28 declaring £450 for May. Don't think I am going to be able to increase on this for the next few months, but as long as I stick to saving that as a basic amount, I am happy. :)
