#25 update for June

£797.04 saved in June against my target of £520 making my savings YTD of £710. I can finally put a positive number in my signature :j. It's a slightly false month because I have postponed a tyre change and service from June into July so next month may even that gain out.

Happy Saving .

I have had a maturing Regular Saver this month, so I have taken that amount off what I have saved this month, and I paid off a 2k credit card.

Im declaring £1080.00

Managed my £1000 saved was tricky but as my tenants split up and hes only paid some rent so far this month I'm insured so hopefully will be ok. Sheet up dated.

Minus £2400 this month!:eek:

This was due to decorating including new wood floor and carpet and new lights. It was three and a half grand including labour which seems ridiculous for a hallway/stairs. It's not like spending that on a sitting room or bathroom where you really enjoy the difference its made.

I will be moving the telly and sofa into the hallway in order to fully appreciate all the effort and cost.

I'm looking at declaring a big fat -£1700 for new double glazing and front door. I'll update the sheet when I'm sure! At least we'll be warm in winter, it's sweltering at home now
I hope everyone else is doing better than I am!

Of all areas in houses, this is the most difficult, fiddly and expensive, just because of all the awkward bits and pieces. I remember painting all the finials on a staircase at a previous house. The wallpaper was absolutely the worst bit and that sounds like good value to me, compared to my potential grumpy-o-meter if I had done it myself!

Thanks, Suffolk Lass, that makes me feel better! You're quite right about the hall/stairs being the most fiddly
