thank you - it feels so far away but I have to keep reminding myself that this is a marathon and not a sprint

I've added another £226.25 into the OP savings pot today made up of my chippy wages for last week (£201.25) and a Macro voucher we had come through the post to save £25 on a £125 shop. We needed more toilet rolls, kitchen rolls and some meat anyway so managed to use the voucher and get the equivilent of a beef joint for free so happy days

This makes our total now £24145.14 / £81700 = 29.55%

Less than 0.5% to go before we hit the 30% mark

Only me  

It's interest day on our main savings account (my favourite day of the month as it is like free money)  

So today I have added to our OP savings account:-

£338.20 from interest
£   7.00 from using an Asda reward coupon
£   1.49 from using a lidl app coupon for a free smoothie drink I usually buy

So our total now stands at £24491.83 / £81700 = 29.97%

We can almost touch the 30% mark - only another £18.17 to find. I'm off to feel in the cracks of the sofa and check pockets of the washing to see if I can find any coins or notes people have forgotten about

Me again - sorry for hogging this thread but it really helps me to stay accountable and make progress  

Its payday from Burger King today so I have added £254.54 into the OP savings pot today.

Our total currently stands at £24746.37 / £81700 = 30.28%

I'm over the 30% mark - wahoo

Thanks Neverending.
Oh I remember school holidays when mine were little. They were never pretty for the bank balance. Well done on making it through them x
