            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......
