Grr I keep forgetting all the little payments and things..
Anyway,

ISA: £250
PP: £28.04
MB: £40 bagged up ready to go into my ISA and £25 left in the box
=£343.04
=17.15%

Wow, it's shot up from 13 to 17%!!

Received a cheque from my old energy company last week for £68.08, they still owe me about £7 but I don't know if I can be bothered arguing it- this has taken about 8 month already!

26.32 in my paypal
and £40 worth of coins that needs to go into my ISA
oh and a £50 cheque that needs go in my ISA too

=£453.90/2000
= 22.7%

I added £500 into my ISA yesterday as I had spare money in my current account, (gone through my budget and looks like I have around £500-800 excess a month, still thinking I must be forgetting somethinggg) so thought I best just whack it in and forget about it in there, rather than spend it.

Went to the bank on Saturday morning and finally put some money and a cheque in my ISA too.

37.58- MoneyBox
1.65- Paypal (I moved the rest into my ISA, and just earned this from spare5 this weekend.)
920- ISA

=959.23
=47.96%

Is it cheating to include that 500? Cos I haven't technically earned it from money online, but it's still going towards my Shanghai fund...
And it's earned from wages and benefits, etc.

I'm not including it in the July MoneyMaking challenge though!

Seen a gorgeous house this weekend! Put the application in, so fingers, toes and everything crossed.
There was a lot of interest in it, and the landlord picks from all the applications. It would be fantastic for me, my bf and our daughter.
It would also be the house me and bf finally move in together in. :)

Fingers crossed!! Could be moving next month!

Fingers crossed for you! I don't think adding the £500 is cheating as your diary is about saving for a holiday and that's what you're doing ;D

Well, I got an payment from Tax Credits, after speaking to them, they have assured me that it was money I was owed... Although not sure I believe that... but oh well, we'll see.
I've put it into savings just incase they decide they want it back!

So that's £841.29 paid into savings which brings my total to:

£2309.68!!!

Yayy, think I'm going to aim for another £1000 :)

Congratulations! and taking counting your savings definitely isn't cheating :) that's what I'm intending to do too.
