      I appreciate it is still September, but all of my upfront savings for October have now gone out so this is #50 t2rry declaring £1,550 for October please

      I will check in again at the end of the month in hope of having a little more to put to it.

      I really made myself a tight target this year, my forecast for Oct/Nov/Dec gets me to £19,530, just £470 shy of my target BUT I have a pay rise and some additional income that should land at the end of October, which should get me over the line but only time will tell!
