Great savings going on here. I have had to dip in to my savings account to pay for a holiday in November but will be putting it back next week so I will leave my October update until then.

No 5. reporting £2400 for September.Have opened up an 8% regular saver and a one year fixed at 6%.Next month will be much lower as we have bought a new tv. Also bought a new sofa, but happy that we could get that on 0% credit for two years. Means that we do not need to take the money out of our saving accounts. First time we have done this in 20 years!2025 Fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons

August I managed to save nothing unfortunately
However
September I managed to save £1,579
Think my figures are a little out on this spreadsheet here (I think it may be my fault but it's okay) but I know from the spreadsheet I run for my savings myself I am only £1,937.42 away from my target of £10k, which may be hit or it may not, it all depends on whether or not my overtime continues through until the end of the year.
However I am so so so excited in having the amount of savings I do now!!
Have put my figures below:
Jan: £950.78
Feb: £857.60
Mar: £1,350
Apr: £1,243
May: £1,118.25
Jun: £125.78
Jul: £838.17
Aug: £0.00
Sep: £1,579Savings Total so far for 2023: £8,062.581 -
