    #09 spent a little bit more on holiday so taking off £302 for june.
    so only £148 saved this month, but it was worth it.
  • #35 added £300 this month taking the total up to £500

    Gosh it's always so slow in the beginning, we were flying this time last year with our savings and it seems the more you save the easier it is?! 
    Debt Free as of December 2020 👏
