    Declaring for July, not the best month for saving, booked a holiday, paid off £480 of debt to close an account and raided my gifts/Xmas account for birthdays I have coming up. £147. 
    Better than nothing.

    Reportng £4000 early for July as I can't see anything wildly exciting happening during lockdown requiring me to splash out! 

    After an awful S&S loss in March, my ISA's now fully recovered. It'd be really good if I could hit my original target of £25,000, but having lost half the year I think that is probably over-ambitious (but aspirational). At least there's not much to spend money on, and no holidays this year, so I'll see how close I can get.
