The Save £12k in 2025 challenge

Caeraugirl

#21 Caeraugirl with £2100 for June.

I still have the previous £50 payment from Nationwide sitting in my current account with them - I only use the account for the insurance package and  their Regular Saver - but will move it with the other £100 to a savings account when that lands, and will update my total accordingly.

Sorry for my absence @enthusiasticsaver; husband's day surgery has ended up being almost a week in hospital. Finally some improvement overnight Saturday/Sunday and providing this improves and all the connected things are removed without mishap, I am hoping to bring him home today. 

It has meant lots of spending on parking(!) but not on anything else so reporting May total as £928.83 with the dividends (not checked) going into June's total as only so many hours to do stuff without him here.

Hi all I am back with another update. Took out the £500 out of my regular saver as I wasn’t comfortable saving that account. Decided to save £150 a month in my new NatWest digital regular saver. Saved £150 (and £6.10 as I have round ups on so altogether saved £156.10 in May) I have also saved another £150 on 1st June this month so have now saved £306.10 altogether.

Forgot to mention £1000 is now my new goal. I’m new to saving so wanted to start slow instead of saving extremely huge amounts.

May Savings TallGirl #49 total £1004

I have just sold my house and bought another one in Denmark so lots of bills to pay in June before the big move in August. I shall be continuing from Denmark so be part of this challenge and promise not to post figures in kroner.

Hello, Number 52 declaring £3575 for June.  That includes £75 win on PBs which will be used to buy more PBs.

Can I please adjust my target?  As of the end of July the hours available at work will reduce significantly.  I will be looking for more work but until that happens there will be a limited amount going to savings.  This is one of the reasons I've saved so much in the first few months of the year, knowing this was on the horizon.  

New target =  £30k by the end of December 

As always thank you to @Suffolk_lass and @enthusiasticsaver for running the thread

@MiwMiwCat maybe put your challenger number in your signature (via edit profile) so we can find you to update your savings in the spreadsheet more quickly, please

I think I posted on your own diary but I do hope your husband is recovering well.  I noticed you weren't on as much as usual (usually you beat me to the updates ) but sometimes life happens.  That is the beauty of having a back up moderator for the challenge and it is much appreciated.

I am with you on hospital parking fees.  When my husband had open heart surgery a few years back the parking costs were ridiculous.  I don't know about your hospital but ours would not even commit to roughly how long he would be in so  I had to bring the car in every day on the assumption he may be discharged and needed me to drive him home as we don't live close to the hospital.  Otherwise I would have caught the bus.
