Hi all,
Some great updates - well done everyone!
I’m away at the moment completing a charity hike so I have no access to my spreadsheets. Please keep updating here and I’ll catch up when I return home after Easter 😊

Morning. No. #13. £5 over to savings today. But I am readjusting my total. I had an unexpected bill come in (car...sigh) and although I had some of it I was short so it was either dip into monthly budget, use a CC or withdraw savings and pay it. So savings paid it. I have £15 in my savings now......
