No 41 with just £377.41, own fault as I found out that there is now an online course that will help with with work promotions. So interesting next 12-18 months already paid for.It is the job that is never started that takes the longest to finish. Tolkien.Save 12k in 2025 No 18 365 1p challenge 2025 No 24

#17 reporting in for July. I managed to put aside £1,749 this month, I have submitted the form with that information and increasing my target from £12k up to £15k.
I still have my separate pot to buy a replacement car but not had much joy finding the one that I want. Next month may take a hit as I am spending a chunk of money on some work on my front garden.
Saving goal for 2025: £17,561/£30,000 (58%)

Number 20 declaring £500 for July. I've been busy trying to buy a house so I have stopped all my regular saver deposits. Now I'm simplifying putting it in one place. Unfortunately not saved as much as I had hoped but still progress!5

#22 declaring:
£200 for July (went on holiday, hence the low savings in July but it was great to pay for it out of my salary instead of sticking it on the credit card, as I had done in the past.....).
£1,050 for August.4 -
#16 reporting £926.62 for July. We had hoped for more across June and July so a bit disappointed. Going to focus hard August to December to reach our goal.4
