    #58 declaring £784.10 for February! (Spreadsheet updated)

    Not really sure how it has dipped so much since travel costs were cheaper in February but I guess it is probably a by-product of our soon-to-be house move!

    Currently at a total of £2,036.20 for 2018.

    I need to keep this ~£1,000 average going as I need a total of £6,000 before estimated completion in early May, and I currently have total savings of just over £4,100. It's going to be a tight one..

    Luckily they have decided to banish all credit card fees as I am definitely going to have to put the final balance for the holiday on there (due mid-May) and repay in June :rotfl:
