jools1985 said:I'll be updating again on the 28th - payday for me. @enthsiasticsaver - you helped me so much on the Debt free Wannabee boards, after years of gambling addiction and escalating debt. This resulted in a DMP with Stepchange and I stopped gambling. After becoming debt free in September 2022 I now have an obsession with saving and especially with regular savings accounts.I will be back in a few days time-I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.

As @Suffolk_lass says those who have not posted since signing up for the challenge in December/January will be deleted later on this month apart from @Sandyra and @CreditCardJunkie who have explained that they are not in a position to save at the moment but hope to later on in the year.

Back from hols. Very mixed weather. Dream of a day on Raasay made up for the wet.
I'm hoping to boost my savings a bit from now on as I have finally started to receive my state pension (It's been four years increased from my planned for start date - so much for plans)Save £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £4863.32 out of £6000 after May (81.05%)

I have been moving some money around this month due to putting extra into my pension and taking advantage of being able to have multiple ISAs. I have got some building work coming up plus upcoming nuptials so I will only commit to my usual £800 this month. Hopefully make up what I am behind with once I know where I stand.
