#9 £1,530/£3,000

Feels ages since my last top up! My income has dropped so had to shift mortgage overpayments to EF in the meantime.

Hope you're all enjoying the summer...frugally.

Over 50% now blue_mango - well done :j :j :j


keeping myself accountable - I've added another £100 so now at £5750/£6000 aka 95.83%....less than 5% for me to get back to my target


keep on keeping on

Could I please join? I'm wanting to start a savings fund as part of changing the way I manage my finances (alongside the DMP) managed to save £200 last month and still haven't touched it! (Next week's fuel, food shop and £15 for unexpected extras all budgeted for) and have enabled Save the Change for my Lloyds current account which rounds all card payments up to the nearest pound and dumps the Change in your savings account. (Nifty) saved £11.85 with that so have £211.85 at the moment. Aiming for £2000 .

The EF has to be used last month for car expenses, but I've topped it back up today plus extra. Now at £1800 / 5400 or a third of the way there

1st July-£1,900/£5,000
