Hi (No 2 here)
Drum roll pls ive managed £800 this month - never done this before, im so chufffed. How - I received another cheque for not handling an old credit card debt correctly, i had a little win on the lottery of what i thought was £30 but it was a roll down draw it jumped to £106, got an expected bonus for some additional work I did and sold 4 things on the bay (not listed on there in a long while) and there we are £800.
First time ive ever smashed a target ive made - so thank you guys you must be my lucky charms.
Please update my total to £7,500 i need to keep going
Thanks Dobbill for updating, stay safe and lets hope for a happy, sunny weekend

Thanks Dobbill for updating, stay safe and lets hope for a happy, sunny weekendWell done on saving £800 this month - you are doing so well.Can I just check your overall total. You say £7500 but on the spreadsheet you were on £2500 so adding £800 to that makes £3300 which also brilliant and smashes your £3000 goal.Not sure whether you have been squirrelling away since you updated us last time or if I've missed an update.Keep on keeping on.Dobbi
