    Thank you enthusiasticsaver and Suffolk_lass for updating the spreadsheet.  I hope you are OK SlowlyFading.

    March - £408.84
    April - £1099.33 (includes interest on savings)

    Target is £2,500, so about £200 to go to reach it.  Got some more holidays coming up, and Christmas of course, but hoping to reach my target.

    Thanks to everyone involved in this thread :)

    My reason for saving - ultimately to move house, but as things at work get more and more unstable / stressed, it's also becoming my "f***-it fund"...

    Spreadsheet updated up to here. Copy of Save 12k in 2023 - Google Sheets


    Thanks everyone for the updates.  We have just booked a week away in November so Octobers savings will look a bit sad.

  • £1742.80 for #14 this month. Currently looking to be about 500 off target, just keep frittering bits away. Sigh. But I'll be pretty close in the grand scheme of things 

    Thanks for updating :) Hope everyone is doing ok in all this rain

      £1,125 for #11 this month.  Another spendy month and a little less than I wanted but still on track I think to meet target.  Thanks to those who've taken on the task of updating 😊
