    HI (no 2 here)

    Please add £500 for this month

    Enjoy bank holiday weekend everyone and many thanks for the updating

  • Another £200 on my total, please. Payday was early due to the BH.
    I decided to add my holiday savings to my bigO birthday fund which is carrying over from 2020; £5k in there now 😊
    #34 £3600/£6000
    Debt Free 🍾 since 6.8.13 £32k
    Saving for 🎄 🎁 2026 £66/£730 9%
    6 mth 🆘 fund £10k
    Mortgage offset fund £23.2k/£32.1k 72.2%
    It turns out the answer to my problems wasn’t at the bottom of this tub of ice-cream, 🍨 but the important thing is that I tried...
  • Adding another £25 to #55 bringing me to £5300 and 70.66% 
    Had a win on Premium Bonds today 😁
  • Hi Dobbibill
