#17 reporting in for May (form submitted), managed to put aside £2,186 for the month.
Spent around £4,700 from my repairs & replacements pot for replacing part of the fencing in the garden plus other gardening work.
Over the next few months I have some car related payments to make (insurance, service & MOT) and my repairs & replacements pot will drop as I've had some roof work done and will be starting to pay off interest free loan for solar batteries and replacement sofa.

The amount I've saved for May would have 2 different amounts depending if we count the Lifetime ISA government bonus or not.

#18 updating with £6,000 for June, hard to believe we're almost halfway through 2023 - not sure where that's gone!(edit: looks like that hits target, which means I set that a bit wrong - changed job in January, and wasn't sure what 2023 would look like. Clearly has been better than I expected!)3
