    £25.00 to add please, had my first ever PB win.

    Many thanks Dobbibill
    I had my first ever PB win this week too! I am so excited about it 😁  I keep my emergency fund in PBs, so it’s nice to have a little boost without doing anything. 

    #55 adding another £25 please 
    LOL, glad you had a win also... here is to many more X

    Hi (no 2 here)

    Please can you add £800 to my July payment (July total £850) - a good month

    Monthly savings, couple of sales, little lottery win - all good and i had a pay rise this month so all going in the right direction

    Thanks for updating and enjoy your weekend everyon


  • #53 reporting in with an updated total of £1342.31/£9330 which is 14% so not too bad when you look at it that way.  Should be able to add more on 27th of August when it gets to pay day again.

  • I don’t think I updated at the beginning of August:
    #34 £3400/£6000
    For the 2nd year, it doesn’t look like I will use my holiday money, so next month I’ll decide whether to boost this fund or keep it for next year’s holiday, in case we’re back to normal by then.

  • Adding another £50 to #55 please
