Fell at the last hurdle but at least I'd already gained my target so it matters a little less that I've just bought a ticket for an event in October.Toodle-pip :hello:2

Declaring another NSD today. Very pleased with my numbers this month. Sadly it doesn’t offset the price of a new washing machine that I needed after the other one died or all the increased pricing for everything coming in next month.2026 decluttering: 174 🤑🥉 ⭐️🥈

Goal 3: Get a lodger
Goal 4: Once goal 1 & 3 complete add 2.3K to the EF

2 more for me please, for yesterday and today.
I'm on holiday in April so I think a target of 15 will be reasonably optimistic!

Another one today for me please x
Im going to put 20 down again for April. Ive had to replace some items at home during march and i will do a main monthly shop in one go. I go out once a week to a local club and it only costs 6 pounds so I dont include that either. I only count anything other than food or a once a week trip out as spending. Staying out of the charity shops can be a challenge and buying not necessities from Amaz*n. Two jumpers and a winter coat for 5 pounds during March.Current debt approximately 5000
Goal- Zero debt by mid 2025
Savings in 2026- an emergency fund of 50001 -
Early call for day 20.
