    This is from RoundUps, it should have been more as we were around £150 underspent for the month (new month starts today for us) but that has been partly carried forward, partly spent on a one-off for OH, which is a rarity. Will be back for July's opening gambit next week! Happy heatwave, savers!

    Hiya,


    #33 - my June result is £3886


    Hoping to be on track to hit me target now. I’m self employed, so that’s why months are so variable.

    I've updated the formatting on the spreadsheet to reflect that we are almost halfway through. And at this moment we are collectively at just over 56% of our collective totals

    Morning all, hope you're surviving the heat, although it's much more manageable here today.

    #14 declaring -£3733.55 for June, so dragging us all down haha. This was an anticipated spend, and why I'd ramped up savings last few months. I've done my figures and I'll still be on track for my end of year target, unless any big spends spring up (hope I don't jinx myself)
