#129 declaring £383 for June.

Managed to put aside £50 for Christmas in there as well.

July is set to be a hard month. A lot of money flying around, mostly out the door and into someone else's pocket, but I am determined to scrape something out and into the savings account.

I've just got to put my head down and keep going forward.

Just £216 saved this month but I have just come back from holiday That's hopefully all my big expenses for the year gone (excluding Xmas).

Total for the year is £1345 .. Not on target for halfway through the year so I'm hoping I can make up the difference in the second half!

I haven't posted for a couple of months as it's been a bit hectic and seem to have kept putting off sitting down and working everything out!

May ended up being a better month than expected with savings of 575.91 however June wasn't so good as we had to pay ground rent and a couple of big bills. Thankfully they were saved for in advance but still means I am down £34.53 in June.

Good news is that I have just been given a substantial pay rise and promotion so July's pay cheque will be rather nice!

#25 updating with £375.12 for July. £1070 saved YTD. I'll be needing a big push on reducing outgoings for the rest of the year if I am to achieve my target.

Me and the OH have just opened our first current accounts to start earning some switching bonuses. That should help get closer to the target.

Well done to everybody on here. There are some tremendous savings stories.:T
Happy Saving:)
