#6 reporting £964.52 saved in April.
Feeling good today as I managed to get the house insurance for £70 less than the renewal quote. Amazing what they can do when you tell them it's too high and you're sorry to leave them for a cheaper quote.It is the job that is never started that takes the longest to finish.

#33 Kim_13 £925.70 for May
An unexpectedly good month again this month, though June looks as though it won’t be much at all. Mulling over what I should increase my target to in view of this.

Feels weird having spare cash that isn’t paying for a wedding. Thank you for all your kind wishes. Going to include April and May payday savings so it all tallies up, as I forgot to include that, as I get paid at the end of the month. So that’s £2000 for May please @enthusiasticsaver. Thank you for managing.

It has been an interesting last few weeks of things breaking in my house, so May is going to be expensive over here.
April however was a bumper income month, so even with some shopping and extra petrol spends, my total for April is £970.12!
Thanks Team£12kSave £12k in 2025 #33 £2531.77/£5000 (If this carries on I might have to up my target!)
