#29 reporting in with a belated and sad -£355.60 for June. Car repairs, new vacuum and needing a hotel to visit family all came at the same time as an unexpected move-out from my housemate. Still, rainy days are what savings are for, and it really rained in June. July is looking slightly sunnier so far.Save £12k in 2025 #33 £2531.77/£5000 (If this carries on I might have to up my target!)

#34 ReleaseTheStars £1224.90 for July
I've managed to pick up some extra work this month, which is a relief as I lost a main income source recently. Not sure how long it'll last, but I'm making hay while the sun shines!
Thanks as always for running this challenge.3 -
#14 declaring -£2564.56 this month. This is mainly van repairs and upgrades, which are covered by last months car sale.
Think I'm going to be a bit short of target, perhaps £18k depending on how things go with the van. But we'll see
Hope everyone is doing ok!£12k in 25 #14 £10,474.10/£18k 24 #14 £15,653.11/£18k 23 #14 £17,195.80/£18k 22 #20 £23,024.86/£23k3 -
#7 Jellybaby £750 for July
Think I’m over target now but savings for the next few months may be lower due to the freedom of retirement and booking last minute holidays!

Apologies for the late update! June turned out more expensive than planned, so I saved £0. But on the bright side, I didn't have to dip in to any existing savings pots! Happy saving4
