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!I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.

Lots of great updates. My target is met for this year and we have back to back holidays to pay for in September and October so there will be little savings from me.
