#45 reporting in with £3,250 for May, bringing it all to £24,251.56 for the year so far.

Nothing awfully exciting to report this month, like others I am consolidating things to a handful of accounts - with interest rates so low I'm ditching most current accounts and not renewing regular savers etc. After years of having the better part of two dozen accounts scattered around, it feels odd to almost have just the classic "current account + savings account" pair (I've kept a second current account in reserve, in case Starling ever has a TSB-style meltdown).

Nr 79 checking in for the months of March & April. We decided to make some larger spends, so the numbers are low for the months and also May will be similar. We paid for some holidays next year to Asia and got some pets now. Also helped out my mum with toping up her state pension. So those ate into the numbers. 
March: £145
April: £145
Total this year: £3,220 / £10000

#16 reporting £726.55 for May. Would have liked to have saved more but we have a few big bills to pay this month so decided to put that amount in the savings as it will mean we have saved exactly what we should have after five months with out year total in mind.
Hoping for £1k+ for the next seven months - big ask but motivated to achieve it!

#70 here having submitted an updated form for £75,039 for May. It’s bittersweet really, as most of this amount is from a critical illness insurance payout as a result of a fairly significant medical procedure. Fortunately, I’m ok now and pleased that I ticked that box many years ago when selecting the flexible benefits from work. Thanks,

I purchased my first ever car this weekend so sadly will not have any savings to add to this month.
Do I need to report £0 on the form?

Morning! No. 48 reporting for May with £3,000 talking my total to £12,625 and over the half way mark a month early. This gives me a little more leeway for the balance of year which is good as I expect to have to go back to the office at least some of the time from June which always increases spends. Off to edit form now. 
@Moneybear I suspect you wont have to as you chose the month each time to report so just use June next time.
