    Another £25 added due to another marketplace sale.

    We're really hoping to hit target on pay day...the car is making a funny noise so we'll see
    Thank you for keeping us focused and motivated.

    My totals currently are £2800/£3000. I might be able to hit my target this month but that depends whether I'll have any income from a lodger.

    I can't wait to have the 3k so I can focus on other goals. I also feel very grateful for being in a position to save this money sooner than planned.

    Hit my first target, got the 3k for an emergency. :)

    Will keep adding more to it when I have spare cash but it will no longer be my priority. Time to bust some debt!!
