    Hey penny savers, coming in hot with my first loss for the year :)

    Day trips and a nostalgic mystery box took hold of me! I'm just calculating the loss rather than what I'm owed as I have mild dyscalculia so would confuse myself:

    #9 - minus £405

    #46 here. I saved a nicely rounded £52.52 in May. 

    I can't believe we're here at the cusp of June!

    Have you quoted on the right thread @jaxsmar? You are number 16 on the 1p challenge thread but your figures above do not seem to tally up with previous updates?

    Congratulations to @Dizzycap as our first finisher on this challenge. 6 months early.  Well done. 

    As it is the last day of May today and both DH and my main pensions have now gone in I have sorted our finances. 

    I have coloured in up to 180 on my spreadsheet (June is orange) and paid £49.65 into my savings challenge space on my starling account.  The total pot is £162.90 which is just under 25% of the total amount.  It will get more expensive from now on so I will be looking for economies elsewhere. 

    So #1 £49.65 for June. 

    Good luck for June everyone and remember any savings are an achievement.

    #2 with £45.28 for May gives me a total for the year so far of £290.11 if the spreadsheet is correct. 

    New job means I may change how I save from now on. Who knew going from 4 week pay to monthly can change how to figure your budget.

    Hey savers, while I may be in a deep loss and not likely to get to the goal this year I will not dwell on it. 💪🏾

    Hope you all have a wonderful June 

    #9 - Paying in £80

    Thanks.
