@Dizzycap - oh please keep reporting without changing your target - it helps offset the group underachievement when people are forced to stop or disappear. There's a slightly obsessive element in me that likes us to meet or exceed our collective target in the challenge! And well done, end of June and all done!Dizzycap said:#34 Declaring £1424.74 for July.YTD Total: £12,114.14 / £12,000 - Although I've completed the challenge, I'm going to continue saving as I'm enjoying it!Save £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £10,020.92 out of £6000 after September
