    #26, birthdays, holidays & weddings in August plus my birthday last week means, not as good this month, but still scraped together £1100 for September.

    If I don't spend all my birthday money I may save some, fingers crossed

    #47 t2rry reporting my standard £1,000 for October please

    I'm just £1,195 off my target for the year with 2 paydays left so I'll certainly pass it (save anything catastrophic happening) but I have a personal stretch target of £25,000.  I can only hit this if I find some additional income somewhere but I'm working on it!

    1. Regular Savings £7,400/£10,000
    2. Slush Fund £3,800/£10,000
