Sorry for the delay in updating the spreadsheet - it should be all up to date now
It has been a hectic month and then yes, I've had chicken pox which has been awfulit's wiped me out for the last week and am only just starting to feel slightly more human again. Now just have to wait for all the spots to disappear, then wait to see if our two boys then get it... :eek:
Ho hum, it's been a bit rough as of late
Spreadsheet totals looking fab though! :jBe who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Slowly - poor you! I hope you get better soon and that the babies are ok!
For me, just the monthly £110 into my emergency fund to report this month. It's been a strange month, what with me deciding to take my boyfriend on a surprise all-expenses-paid holiday for his birthday this summer (and incidentally it will also be our first anniversary), but fortunately my would-have-been-monthly-savings plus the LISA bonus pretty much covered the cost for now, meaning that I'm not actually losing money from my savings (just re-allocating to adjust for the sum in the LISA). There's a little bit more to pay off at the end of May but essentially I should be back on track this month
Looks like we've got some good numbers this month - hopefully the cost of suncream / after-sun / burn cream won't wipe it all out at the end of May:rotfl:0 -
