    Just realised I havent submitted my totals since Feb - so just added the last 4 months worth to the sheet. Half way through and I'm on target for my £6k aim. Currently sitting at £3102.96. Still with the round numbers! :D

    Very pleased with that :)

    Congratulations slowly fading! Very exciting news :j

    #186 declaring a total amount of £500.42 for June! A combination of needing new glasses and paying the full amount for our holiday to the Lake District in September meant that the bank balance took a hit! Next month should be much better as I'll get paid for last months overtime and will work more overtime this month :money:

    Congratulations all! I can't believe it's the first of July already....

    Hi no 121 reporting in had unexpected car and bike repairs this month so only managed £169.96. The good thing is I had the money already saved so I didn't need to borrow. You got to think of the positives ��

    Evening all, no. 38 here, I have been so flat out with a project I have been working on I haven't had time to work out my updates for May or June until today. For May it was a negative number, -£94.53, but for June much better, £1,190.65, bringing my yearly total so far to £8,571.97. :)
