I know it's still April but that's all my automated savings already gone, thanks to payday timings.
I'm just waiting for a few things to settle before I can put a figure to anything additional.
I almost certainly will have some more to add come the middle of the month but I don't count my pennies until they're in my account so we shall wait and see...and hope the budget is good enough before then to not eat into any of it! I'm eyeing up that 50% point, 'just' £900 to go!

This gives me a total of £4456.96 for the year so far. So just on target.
So glad for this challenge as it really helps me to keep focusing on keeping to budget.

You've got me down for £0 for January - I'll say the same for February although in reality it'll probably be minus numbers again. I'll see how the next few weeks ago but may drop out for 2025, don't want to drag the stats down
Thanks2
