#147 here!
Been spending and paid for last minute Kentish cycling holiday so not a good month for me. £250 regular saver and £500 in Marcus makes £750 in total for July. Not far from my original target, hopefully I'l be able to beat it and aim for £10,000 by the end of the year. Again thanks slowly for managing this.MFW 2025 #32 £4,006.43/£3,000; MFW 2024 #32 £4,217.84/£3,000; MFW 2023 #32 £5,238.84/£4,000; MFW 2022 #32 £8,246.43/£8,000; MFW 2021 #32 £8,982.73/£8,000; MFW 2020 #32 £12,000/£6,000

#22 reporting £639.12 for July and form updated. Not as good as previous months, but still good considering we had to pay out £790 for wife's dental work. A similar amount expected to come out in August, so expecting August to be a bit down too.4

I've re-discovered booking holidays, so it looks like I won't be anywhere near my usual amount this month, maybe even negative, but it will be worth it, and I've saved quite a bit more than usual already this year, so all good.3

#26 reporting £1118.02 for August. We are beginning to slow down again compared to during the lock down. Baby number 2 arriving in November so we are now starting to buy bits and pieces.
