I have been terrible at updating, so apologies @slowlyfading for the small influx of forms from me. I have, however, managed to keep some good habits (does it count as a habit if it's a direct debit?!) going in the background which has been quietly building my savings. That said, I do need to up my game if I'm going to reach my target so I'll be spending more time on the board (even if it's just lurking) as you guys are always an inspirationSo, quick up date to get back in the swing.#75 reporting 553.12 for April (2013.73 running total)

#5 reporting in for April. I managed to save £1,484 for this month (form updated) which means I am still on target for the year (33%). I also managed to add £300 to the repairs & replacements pot this time, but I expect some of it to be used up in the coming months by various planned works.

Hope everyone is doing well and got to enjoy some sunshine over the weekend!
Reporting £1431.46 for May. Spreadsheet updatedGoing quite smoothly at the moment, despite having to do a few bits around the house like replacing fence panels and the like, but I have money set aside for this so not hitting the savings. I am a little bit short on what I planned, but not by much, so still hoping to be pretty close to target by the end of the year, fingers crossed. Love this challenge for keeping focused though
