My plan is to keep £1100 in my bills account at all times and everything else gets syphoned off into the relevant accounts. Im currently at £950 and as soon as I hit £1100 thats when the real savings can begin. Just need to get the big expenditures out the way over the next few weeks and then start the ball rolling... . o O2025 Mortgage start £378K 2025 Overpayment £103 Savings Challenge 2025 **MONEY MAKES ME HAPPY**0

Pay Day and my first chance to see if I hit my first target
Target saving £1,000 every period (4 weeks) for 2 years
I missed it by £44 this period
However I spent £140 at the dentist
I've also dramatically increased my hours at my part time weekend job, so this should allow me to beat October target "No likey no need to hit thanks button!":pHowever its always nice to be thanked if you feel mine and other people's posts here offer great advice:D So hit the button if you likey:rotfl:0 -
Update from me.
Got loads of shifts from the second job (agency) so bringing in extra cash
Got 47 hours and one of the days is double time so bring in almost £400 for a week 0 -
