    Many thanks for your time in setting this up.  I have been really lazy saving over the years but after joining the challenge, I'm hooked! 

    Great! :):smile:

    #9 declaring for April £35. Won’t be saving anything serious until next year now I reckon with paying my house deposit, extras and buying furniture. I’ll be happy to end the year with a bit of savings and no debt !
  • I've finally moved house, so I can actually start saving this year! Might just have a tot up as I'm sure I didn't go completely backwards over the first few months. Excited to properly join the challenge.

    #20 checking in with £3,100 for April, making it £16,977.36 for the year so far - just about on track, but the next few months are likely to see me drop behind the pace. I'm in the last few days at my current job before starting a new one early May, but the switchover will disrupt things for a bit (I'm going from being paid in advance to paid in arrears). Longer term it's good, as the new role is much better paid, but a few months of juggling ahead as things settle down.

    Update for April is £8,280.54 due to a vehicle sale - I'm also upping my target to £23,000 for the year. Form has been updated :)

    I can't quite believe we're at the end of April already, the year is vanishing again!

      Just £700 this month for me which includes £75 reinvestment of Premium Bond winnings. 

      Small month as its the big birthday, by my calculations I should *just* catch up to target by December. We shall see.

      #36 reporting £1400 for April.  More than I thought although with holiday bills coming soon some of that is accounted for. I will submit the update form too.
