      #56 MrsCautious £5651 in May

      I paid back £4925 into my savings after ‘borrowing’ it.

      I’ve saved £1356 on top of this in May including paying into my pension and adding to a fixed rate ISA  in Yorkshire Building Society. 

      I got a HMRC refund that contributed a lot to this as well as a refund from overpaying a life insurance policy for erm 12 months. A bit tortuous getting both of those payments but very grateful.
