    Further £150 to add to the pot - DH and I save a bit each month for ongoing yoga and pilates classes but we both realized that we can get these cheaper elsewhere so that saved money is going into pot!

    Total £377.48 / £600

    Double win as monthly budget has also gone down!

    Edited to add extra £200 from natiowide;

    Total £577.48 / £600 so almost there!

    Not money to add exactly but I have made some good savings this week. Both trays in my dishwasher are broken . Looked up buying two new ones and they nearly cost the same as a new dishwasher so decided to just get the top one which really wasn't functioning properly. A week later an offer of 40% off the bottom try came through so I have ordered it saving is £40.00. Also needed some crocs to slip on for the beach and garden. Went into summer sale and saved 30% on each pair. ( 2 of us) Also got 15% code for new customer. We saved £40.00. it's been a good day.

    Updating for April and May:

    £10 Airtime rewards

    £10 Monzo referral (signed up as I went abroad so saved a lot on overseas charges)

    £5 Morrisons voucher (through fivers scheme on the app)

    £7 redeemed Nectar points at Argos

    £30 competition win

    £11 free gym pass

    £2.77 freebies from Lidl (via app offers)

    £89.50 free exhibition/entry tickets (work perk)

    And then a bit of an odd one, but about £16's worth of free cat litter - signed up for a sample online, ended up being sent a 6L pack twice!

    Total for period = £181.27

    Hoping to do a little better for June/July as my birthday's coming up which means (hopefully) some birthday freebies!

    Yearly total so far = £514.28

    Make £2026 in 2026 total £514.28/£2026

    2026 competition wins: £30 That's Life magazine

    #26 update

    by end of June i'd a added a few pennies from rewards taking me to £396.99 (19.57%)

    So far as this date in June , thanks to the Fairershare payment of £100, Rewards and some overtime my total is =£ 508.54 (25.59%) - not far off what i ended my year on last year, so I feel more optimistic at raising nearer £2026 this year ( selling the decluttered items will help…).

    love hearing everyone's efforts, it's very encouraging
