Well I've put in my update for May - £1,050 or near enough. Pretty much just what we can save out of earnings (plus some interest) without making a real effort.
I MUST get stuff onto eBay and try and hit the magic £1,200 next month!I've got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.0 -
No 121 reporting in £215 this month not great but had a few yearly things to pay. Every little saved helps in the long run. ��It is the job that is never started that takes the longest to finish. Tolkien.Save 12k in 2025 No 18 365 1p challenge 2025 No 20

#56 with £2,648.24 for May, total of £9,890.93 for the year so far. Due to a slow start to the year i'm lagging a bit behind target, June's going to be another good month but hitting £30k by year-end will be a big ask. Not too worried though, was always going to be a tough goal so getting anywhere near will be good0

Number 59 signing in for May with £1,107. This is better than expected as I had a few expected outgoings but I managed to tighten the purse strings to balance them out. Happy saving all!0
