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.

Take care of yourself, AuburnEnigma. Your health is the most important thing and, as recent events have shown me, must not be taken for granted xx

Thanks

And finally, a quick word to say much love and best wishes to our leader SlowlyFading who is having a rough time at the moment.

Thank you, much appreciated.

Declaring £1952.53 for June. We've actually had quite an expensive month - booking holidays for later in the year, trips out with family, big petrol bills for visits around the country, meals out, booking a place at a Mindfulness retreat - but mostly on the credit card which hits next month. So July's figure will be nothing like June's! 

In other news, after a lot of faffing about with different early retirement dates I've finally taken the plunge and fixed the date as 2nd November. Mainly because we fly out to the Canaries on holiday on 3rd Nov and frankly after some bad days at work recently I just can't stomach the idea of going back after the hol. We're extending it right up to xmas, so a really good long break in the sunshine to de-compress and make some plans.

And finally, a quick word to say much love and best wishes to our leader SlowlyFading who is having a rough time at the moment.

Well done Geoffers4, how great to have finite days in sight 

Sorry to hear you are having a tough time, SF, sending love and best wishes xx

You have done really well to get back to budgeting and saving. I am full of admiration. It is good to see you back, and please, if there is any help needed, do ask x

My July figure isn’t updated do I need to submit the form again?

#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. 

Sorry to hear about your house purchase delay, and keeping fingers  crossed for it proceeding soon  

Thanks for your best wishes. Missives all signed on Friday, all the legal stuff finally completed and we move on Wednesday. 

We were meant to move 21/07, then 28/07, then 12/08 so Wednesday can’t come quick enough.
