June savings are down as my car is misbehaving. It's looking like it won't get through it's MOT as there are real problems with the engine. I haven't worked out what to do yet, but I am expecting it to cost me some money. Sigh.Save £12k in 2025 #33 £2531.77/£5000 (If this carries on I might have to up my target!)

Sorry for lack of updates, have had a bit of time away from posting on MSE. I’ve submitted form with updates for April and May as follows:
April £904.04 - this was much less than normal as I used some of what I would usually save to pay for a private medical procedure to help my migraines
May £1572.71 - obviously a much better month
Total now £7,384.32
I’ll update for June after the end of the month.

Morning! #9 skipping in to report £1,863 for June. As you can tell I'm chuffed with that!
I'll submit form now. Have a lovely weekend all.4 -
#45 reporting in with £4,900 for June, bringing it all to £29,151.56 for the year so far. Over halfway, although looks like the pace will slow a bit over the next few months as work/life balance hopefully improves and overtime drops.Feeling a bit stuck in a rut at the moment, as I've have hit a stage where my near-term savings targets are behind me and the mortgage-free goal was reached a year ago, but the big FI/RE goals are still long way off. Not a bad place by any means, but I need to think what the next set of targets look like.3
