    #14 declaring £1881.88 for May

    I really have to stick to the plan if I'm going to make target this year, but still just on track atm. Hope everyone is enjoying a change in the weather, hoping that spending time in the garden will limit me spending money, but.... so many nice plants  :D

      #11 declaring £725 for May. A lot less than I hoped but had family staying for a month so lots of dining and outing enjoyed. Back on it hard before retirement happens at the end of the year.

      #20 reporting £880.45 for May, bringing my total for the year so far to £4,203.95.

      A bit of a spendy month due to a weekend away!

      No 5 reporting £5400 for May. All gone into an instant access. Need to build up a small pot of money that I can have immediate access to as everything else has been fixed. Also, pulled out all but £500 that I had in PB. Decided that I would prefer a guaranteed interest payment rather than a possible win. My luck was not better than average. Just kept a little in so that I still have a chance to win one of the bigger jackpots (though I am not holding my breath).

      £920.92 for May! Was short on pay at the end of April so a lot less than normal. Will be a minus next month as I was struggling to separate savings for some work on the house from everything else, and I just kind of gave up.
