Ok, here goes for my September update… and @thegreenhouse , so sorry to hear about your 4th hit of the old Covid…I’ve only had it once and that was more than enough  I hope you fully recover soon 

Anyways, September is (already) proving to be a bit of a spendy month as I’ve just received my car insurance renewal and it’s up by 33%!. I’ve tried all the comparison websites (and the ones that they miss) but my renewal price with my existing insurance company (Aviva) is still the cheapest/best even with the increase 

With this in mind I’ve decided to simply round up our total to a nice easy figure…and fully plan to make up for it next month 

Therefore,

                #86 Topscooby £61.46 for September, which gives us a nice round £2000 for this year so far!

As ever, many thanks must go to @enthusiasticsaver for continuing to keep the momentum in this thread/challenge and Good Luck to everyone participating with your savings goals!

Until next month……

Thanks, Andy (@Topscooby). Covid seems to really love/hate me! I know some people who get it and don't have many symptoms, including people much older and less active than me, like my parents. I seem to suffer quite badly with it even though I'm fully vaccinated, and a fit and healthy, very active 33 year old, with no other health problems. You just don't know with covid though! The first time I had it I had long covid for about 18 months so I'm very nervous every time I get it again. Especially now as I've been training for a five day trek in the North Cascade mountains which I'm doing at the end of September so the timing is really bad. Fingers crossed I recover well as I'd be gutted to have my experience ruined by covid.

That said, my September and October will also be very expensive, so I feel you there! I'm going to the US for the trek, then a conference in Seattle, then a meeting in New York. I get expenses but none for food. Food is one of my top hobbies and what with American tipping culture I expect to spend a LOT. Pray for me haha.

Sorry about your car insurance and keep going this month with what you can!

Spreadsheet updated.  Thanks all and enjoy the sun while it lasts.  I will be away walking in Dorset next week so won't be on here much.

Hi all,

I was away hiking last week in Lancashire and Cheshire on my latest JoGLE stage (in a flipping heatwave). The horror is that I've accidentally DELETED my random number app - I could weep! 

I'd been tracking the numbers used on a spreadsheet on my work laptop, so I think I'll just start choosing random numbers each day that haven't yet been used. Will sort that tomorrow when I'm WFH  Need to do a transfer for last week.

Hope you are enjoying your break @enthusiasticsaver
