So we are nearly half way through the year and in the spirit of me wanting to get over the £300 mark I have moved £40 over to my savings space in my Starling account after working out my spends for the coming week. Almost at the end of the month so not long until my next cash inflow.
I have updated the spreadsheet with the updates received over the last few days.
As a group so far we have saved £12584.98. Well done everyone.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.

#74 adding £49.95 for June
Total = £164.71
I've been thinking about whether I will be able to continue as we get further on in the year and the monthly amounts go up, as I've got other savings pots for the house renovations and added expenses. I'm going to keep on for now but may reassess at the end of summer.2 -
#96 checking in. £298.07 to date
So glad I found this challenge. Thank you to those that manage it x
