The Save £12k in 2025 challenge
Comments

I hope you are all enjoying this lovely sunshine we are having in the West Country.
I have transferred £1000 to savings just now as we still have lots in our current account in spite of paying the balance of our November holiday and ordering a new garage door. As it is only one week until one of my pensions pays out and the rest pay out two weeks time we should be fine until the rest of the week.
So August is now £1000.

If anyone is in regular contact with any of the people who have stopped updating and feels like nudging them, we only need a little update. I feel like a bit of a nag, if I keep doing it. The spreadsheet link is hereSave £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £4863.32 out of £6000 after May (81.05%)
