#16 reporting £250 for July.Really gutted because we were mean to move house yesterday but our buyers have delayed so hopefully a boost in August.5

#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.4

#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!

#4 reporting £1495.37 for July. Didn’t have so much freelance earnings this month and next month likely to be lower as I’m only doing one small task at the moment to have a break. Will pick things back up again soon.5

#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.2

I've missed reporting the last few (#17), sorry just been completely burned out by work and only now am I starting to get back to some degree of normality.
I'll update the form for May/June/July in a sec, I think I'm slightly behind my target at the moment but I'm ok with that as I've had to reduce my contributions to both my S&S ISA and my SIPP this year.5 -
#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.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.
