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.

No 56 declaring £524.57 for May, a low amount but had two European short breaks! Total now £4433.89.

Happy to report savings of £1028.83 for April. Back to my normal routine. Really proud of myself as I didn't over spend during my birthday trip to New York.

Well done to everyone. Let's keep up the good work.

Reporting Savings of £1696.47 this month. Quite unexpected as something I'd budgeted for came in £550 under so was able to move that to my savings pot.

Well done to everyone.

update form submitted.

I've save £1000.26 in May so have just declared that on the form. Still on target to hit £12k this year.

May update time. £1145 saved

Not too bad considering May felt like an expensive month with lots of people I really like leaving my work (many drinks!) and flights to Greece booked. June will include the rest of that trip's costs, so we'll see how it goes. A good friend of mine is getting married and I wouldn't miss that party, so it's definitely worth it.

Ideally to hit my target savings rate I want to be putting away £1250 a month, but on the whole I'm pretty pleased. Worked out the other day that I finally have a positive net worth for the first time since I started studying. Small steps.

An appalling £382.02 for me this month but I have a good reason: I'm buying a house Lots of money has gone out for solicitors' costs on account, buyer's protection insurance etc. The lender did the valuation yesterday so keep your fingers crossed for me?

Well done to everyone sticking with it so far - next month we'll be half way through the year!!

Hi all,


I've just declared for April and May as I'm a bit behind.
I'm on £9845.83 for the year to date. This is around 80% of my planned figure, but life just keeps getting in the way.
June and July should be better!


Well done to everyone on their efforts & thanks to SF for keeping the challenge going
