    @Coxy11 sorry to hear about the redundancy. My daughter is just going through the same thing fortunately she has been offered another job role but it's been a bit of a shambles so far.
    I hope you find another job or at least come out with a big fat lump sum. It's really hard facing the unknown but I sincerely hope you get a good outcome.

    Thanks for all the updates and well done for those updating weekly or doing their end of July updates.  

    @overspenderwhenbored Thanks for the first update and your number for reference purposes is #104.  Can you quote when you update as it just makes it easier for me to find you on the spreadsheet.  I have added you to the list.

    So here’s my update for August’s payment, just a couple of days early….

    The payments for October ( £89.59 ) and July ( £61.07 ) added together total £150.66, and that will be for each of us. Which means for August….

               #86 Topscooby £301.32p (for August 😀 )

    This challenge has really helped get both myself and my wife into the mentality of saving regularly, whilst proving just what can be achieved if you don’t find it a chore!

    Continued thanks must go to @enthusiasticsaver for both running the challenge and keeping this thread so enjoyable to participate in 🙏

    See you all at the end of next month guys and remember, over time those pennies really do add up!

    Andy  ;)

    Hi all. Happy end of July. Gosh these months wiz by. 

    #33 reporting £67.43 saved for July giving a total of £463.58.

    I'm logging onto my bank daily, usually first thing in the morning, and transferring the amount for the day.

     My loan finished this month so the next aim is to bring my credit card balance down. It is 0% on purchases until October but I may need to transfer it to another card if it isn't low enough by then.

    Thanks for organising this.
