Finally a positive month (yay!) but unfortunately just a technicality as I was able to defer paying some renovation invoices until December (ie today!). Next month will almost certainly be a zero month, with Christmas and all!
Happy saving everyone and thank you all for the kind words @Suffolk_lass @Dizzycap
