#26 reporting a big fat £0.00 for September. We had some renovations done this month, all on the credit card so likely will be a smaller amount for October as well.

Howdy MSE’ers,
#42 reporting £1299.63, taking me just shy of 69% of my target... just about on track with three months to go!! Form submitted
In nerdy money saving news, I started a savings ladder after buying a house last summer, using fixed term regular savers with staggered maturity dates, every four months. As sad as it will be to see my Virgin 3% Saver come to an end, it matures at the end of October and Im looking forward to dumping a substantial wedge into my LISA so the bonus can help me on my way to my target!Save £12k in 2020 #42 £12,551.25 / £14,000 89.65%2 -

no 15 declaring £1050.09 saved for September.
Running total is £9464.47. October, November and December will be leaner months savings wise as I start spreading the cost of Christmas out, but as long as I max out my HTB ISA I will meet my target for the year end.
Many thanks!Save £12k in 2022 = £3705.97/ £7,500 (49%)
Save £12k in 2021 #76 = £11,857.21/ £10,000 (118%)2
