    #50 t2rry checking in with £800 for August please.

    One of our regular savers finished in July so automated savings have reduced from £1,050 to £800 and I'm not going to replace it just yet.  That said, next month we should be back to saving more than the minimum.  I'm still behind schedule and hoping to use that to push me to find some extra savings through to the end of the year

    1. Regular Savings £8,200/£10,000
    2. Slush Fund £4,070/£10,000

    Hi. Not really part of this thread but just wanted to say the YTD provided by @Dizzycap is very similar (out by 30p) to the YTD you have give but with the August report included twice. I.e 14986.67+1556.93 = £16543.60
