    Hi everyone
    Payday update from me too!
    I have managed another £400 this month :)
    I have some money on my Credit Card so paying that off, should all be gone next month! I receive my 1st WeightWatchers salary in August so that will be added each month to my deposit fund :D

    Hi all - can I join please!

    OH and I have the house on the market and are looking to buy the new house. Moving areas so will need an extra lump sum to add to the deposite we get from selling.

    We are also getting married next year and trying to clear our credit cards so at the minute money id being split many many ways but we would like to save an extra £10K over the next 6 months to add to what we get from selling.

    Fingers crossed! Hoping you guys can keep me motivated.
    New surname New start!

    £13.48 cashback received today so that's going into the ISA. Couldn't leave it so close to £2k so popped £35.42 in leaving me at:
    £2,000 = 100% of December's target, yay!

    So time to set a new target. I think £3,500 should be challenging enough! Bring it on!

    £2000/£3500 Deposit target 2 = 57.1%
