    #25 reporting in for September, managed to get some contract work so saved £1008 for the month (form submitted). Not sure how long the job will last as it is a rolling weekly contract but it all adds to the savings.
    Saving goal for 2025: £17,561/£30,000 (58%)
    Saving goal for 2024: £27k - achieved

    It doesn't look like Slowly has been on since beginning of September. Does anyone on this thread know her elsewhere to check she is okay?

  • She has still been posting on her Frugal Cottage and no-spend challenge Facebook pages so I think she’s ok.

    I can nudge her. She is active elsewhere, as @Betharooni says
    Save £12k in 2025 #2 I saved £14,660.97 of £6000 or 244.35% of my target. The 2026 Save £12k in 2026 thread is here
    OS Grocery Challenge in 2025 I finished the year at £2880.99/£3000 or 96.03% of my annual spend so I am sticking with a £3000 annual budget for 2026
    I also Reverse Meal Plan on that thread and grow much of our own premium price fruit and veg, joining in on the grow your own in 2026 discussion thread

    I am - sorry! Too many plates, as per usual.
