How’s your overall savings trend LMD? Gradually upwards? I always try to improve our overall savings every month, even if it’s just a few quid here and there.
What bout prolific? You doing much with them nowadays?

Overall we are trending up by approx. £300 a month Ant, not as much as I would like due to blummin' holidays but I have been chatting to DH about the next few years and we are both thinking of 'going electric' with the vehicles… so, we think we may curb the travel for some car savings over the next year or 2. I will have had 4 holidays this year by the time we get to NYE and even I have to admit that's excessive. It doesn't even account for the breaks we have had or will be having inside the UK. (another 3 of those before December…)
It's direct debit day today so the accounts have taken a fair bit of reconciling, but I think I have it sussed now. PAD included £5 to the sabbatical as usual, I should have a bit of spare budget left to re-allocate tomorrow as today is a planned NSD.
That's my update for today. Hope you're all doing OK
