    £6970 for July - zero travel and far less socialising and dining out continues to add to the bottom line.. Unquestionably, however,  I’d prefer life back to normal and less going in the bank..

    Am I able to join in? Been saving each month of 2020 so far and am aiming for at least £12k  :)

    Of course! Can you update the numbers for all the months so far and I'll add you to the spreadsheet :)

    Is it took late to join? I would like to save 3k by the end of the year. It is a bit of a stretch, but I am hoping to be able to do it. x

    Not too late - have added you to the spreadsheet :)

    @Slowly - I saw one of your newspaper appearances as it came up out of the blue on FB for me.  I saw it and thought "OMG she's famous - and I know her!" haha.
    Haha, that's awesome! And congratulations on the engagement :)

    Strong start to August with me putting aside a £1000.  Hopefully will be able to top up a little more towards the end of the month.
    Thank you, Slowly! Cheers.
