    #12 reporting £1,375 for July.  It's been a tougher month than usual cost wise so happy I can still save - off to submit form and check I'm still on track.
  • #57 Just noticed I forgot to report for June - so £750 recorded.

    Off on holiday next week and planning daytrips with my grandchildren during the school holidays. Optimistically, I have sent £750 to my savings accounts from July's pay and hoping not to have to "borrow" any back!

    #5 reporting in for July. I managed to save £1,467 for this month (form updated) which means I am still on target for the year (58%). I also managed to add £650 to the repairs & replacements pot this time, though £450 will go out in August to cover the car service, MOT and car insurance. I expect some more of it to be used up in the coming months by various planned works (though finding time to get quotes is difficult).

    Reporting just £140.95 for July. Not a surprise as we had a lot of credit card purchases coming though, mainly for a holiday booked over the winter. Also massive increase in petrol cost and the gas bill. And several meals out, trips away etc.
    Save 12k in 2013-2014-2015-2016-2017-2018-2019-2020-2021-2022 - then early-retired.

    #36 reporting £800 for July. Slightly less than usual due to 2 weekends away in July plus paying for flight upgrades for our September trip and deposit for next years holiday.
