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

#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

@I_Love_comps Please may I join? I know I'm halfway through the year but life……. ye know. Just came back here to seriously tackle debt and get life headed in a better direction. I'd like to start to notice and celebrate all the little extra £ that comes my way.
I won't go backwards at all and recount anything before today.
Today - I have a modest start of £5.80 for two Vinted salesTotal thus far. £5.80
