#001 declaring £1000 in total for October. We have our last 2026 foreign trip to pay for next month so November will probably be lower. Next year will definitely be cheaper travel wise and home maintenance wise. This year just seems to be one outlay after another so I am amazed we still expect to meet our target. Just two more months to go.
