  • #20 checking in for June.

    Managed some extra income out of a temporary flatmate which alongside low expenses made for a pretty good June with £1760 saved. I think I have my expenses fairly well optimised now so there shouldn't be too many surprises in the next few months, just some holidays coming up and costs associated with them, but otherwise well on target :)

    Slowlyfading - I have a small suggestion I was hoping you could consider. Would it be possible to add an 'Monthly average' amount for each saver? I would be happy to help if it would make it easier, I'm sure there is a formula that would make it automatic (so you don't have you constantly fiddle around with it).
    Love this idea! Leave it with me :D

    That's such a short time away - very envious! Cannot wait until we're in this position :)

    # 87 declaring £350 for June and £225 for July. I have had a weekend away and have also decided to scale back the amount of monthly savings from now on, to use the difference for forthcoming trips and a holiday. Life is for living, after all. As long as I keep saving at least £200 per month, I will be happy. :-)
