    Having bad month. Might be about 100 pounds saved from my salary this month, will report it next week.
    Will try very hard next month, and also aim for at least 5 no spend days.

    @Suffolk_lass £1725.72 is the total YTD, sorry, should have been clearer.
    I think that makes ££683.89 for July & August, I've just been popping bits away & not been keeping track.
