    #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.

    Hey @candiii, not sure if you are already aware but in order to update your total you will need to submit a form via the link in the opening post (OP).

    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.  
    I think so. You are in the habit of not using that money because it's gone out to savings. :)

    Hope everyone is doing well and got to enjoy some sunshine over the weekend!

    Reporting £1431.46 for May. Spreadsheet updated :) Going 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  <3

      #67 reporting £450 for May.

      Spreadsheet updated. Amounts have tailed off a bit but we paid for some outdoor furniture this month and some other expenses which were not budgeted for. Hoping I can get this back on track by end June.
