    #48 -£2000 for September. Bad month for the finances. Booked our honeymoon for next year 🎉
    Congratulations on booking your honeymoon! By the way, you are 47 not 48 on the spreadsheet
     Here is a link
    Sorry, can you update mine again to -£2000 not £2000, it was an expensive month 😂

    Sorry! I put minus in 48 and then omitted it in 47! - You can't get the help these days! Corrected it now  :)

  • 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!

    #49 reporting :) 

    August I managed to save nothing unfortunately :(

    However

    September I managed to save £1,579 :D 

    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: £1,579

    :)
    Savings Total so far for 2023: £8,062.58
