    A very healthy month thanks to my bonus paid at the end of March and held over to get in the LISA for this tax year. Half way to my challenge target already!

    moved some money from savings into my current account after losing my biggest source of income. Received £75 interest from a different account.

    #2 reporting £200.57 for April. House insurance credit card paid and holidays taken so just glad to have squeaked a bit away. Things should improve from here on in.

    The other big thing this month is baling out our son. COL crisis causing him so much stress he (and GF) have accumulated so much debt. So although our savings have taken something of a hammering, he will pay us back over the next 12 months. She is giving up her flat and moving to our house that we have a lodger in and that will give her at least £300 with the reduction in rent, and only one lot of house expenses, instead of two should allow her to pay down her debts too. He is meant to be coming here today for a first lesson in budgetting. Thank goodness for this forum. Without it, we would not have savings.

    A bit of radio silence from some of our challenge members since they posted a single total in January. I'm tagging five people here as a little reminder to update us. @FlacosFloozie @steves_uk @SuperLooperSaver @starship15 and @CountingPenniesClaire - we hope you are OK. Even a zero report is helpful to know you are still here.

    If you forgot us, you can click on the pennant at the top of the screen, then when you go to your quick links -> bookmarks, we will always be there

    #48 £1100 for May


    All my regular savers have come out. It's unlikely I will have extra to put in. I have also increased money into my S&S ISA which is not included in this total.

    Happy new month/payday all!

    #47 t2rry declaring £3,000 for May please

    That's £1,000 automated savings plus £2,000 from additional income.  It's a good month already, only time will tell if I can make it an even better one.
