Evening all, #42 declaring a round but slightly disappointing £1000 for October, taking me past the £10,000 milestone, and just over 75% of my target.
A maturing Regular Saver account in November and a LISA bonus before Xmas should hopefully boost my final two months totals, could be nip and tuck...Save £12k in 2020 #42 £12,551.25 / £14,000 89.65%1 -

#19 reporting in for October. £1081.26. All down to the the delay to finishing the house build, now likely beginning of December, managing to buy from normal income currently due to restrictions here in Spain, those are now getting tighter so have moved my target to £14k, will be a stretch but hopeful.
Thanks again to SF for keeping this going amongst all the other jugglingSave 12k in 2020 #19 £12,429.06/£14,0002
