Hi (No 73) here
Please can you add £100 for july (July Total £150)
I have been feeling unsettled these last few weeks, no real reason and have decided that I would be happier with a bigger emergency fund so with this in mind I would like to reduce my yearly total to £4,000 to give me a chance to boost my savings. Its been a strange year for us all
Thanks Juliecorn5 -
Hi, #106 here. Haven’t updated in a while so have a couple to declare!
June - £3,050
July - £552.76

# 46 here. It`s been a while since I updated, but through some sad and hard times these past months I have now paid off the balance to our mortgage. So update £4990+ paid off.
