July update - saved £644.86 which takes my yearly total to £4,661.17
Feeling good about how much I've saved this month as I've had some one-off fees due to having to move out from our rental - without those expenses I'd have saved over £700 which I haven't managed in months!Save 12K 2019 #37 - £3,512.97 / £6,000 (July)

Thanks for the welcome Suffolk lass and slowlyfading!
Well done Westie983 & tara747. It is nice to see those totals go up, isn't it?
Nice one excelwizard - moving is expensive but it sounds like these fees didn't hurt you too much.
July updated.
Pretty good month for me as I did not take any holidays (I charge per day) and I rarely had to go to my client's site (it is expensive as it is in London)
Company distributable profit increase: £3782
S&S Isa saving: £1166.66
Ifisa: £500
Pension: £1250
Matched betting: £0
I had a decent matched betting month (+-£500) but I splurged most of it on a second hand car (at £400) when mine broke down The other £100 went to diagnosing the fault on my car.
Edit: Just realised I forgot to include my mortgage overpayment of £150. I'll add it to next month's savings0 -
Only managed to save £142 this month - had a very expensive vets bill that the insurance didn't cover all of
Disappointing but I think we could still be on track for the rest of the year! Well done to everyone else so far!

Smashed my £700 july aim and managed £842.50 really pleased with that. August may only be ok with summer holiday spends but should have extra for september to be a good months saving. There is a potential house in our budget available though so may be spending it all sooner than we planned.0
