#61 adding £1500 for February making Feb total £1855.03. This is some money saved for new to us car that’s been put on back burner. Hoping it’ll happen soon just need time and inclination but earning nothing in savings so more use reducing mortgage. Will reach 10% max before June and then save for next year and some fun times.1
