    Hello everyone, as I mentioned a week or so back I paid off £3,000 from one of my credit cards this month but I hopelessly overspent on my monthly budget and my overdraft crept up as a result by a not insignificant amount. But hey, I still repaid £2,805 overall this month and I think that is still a great result.

    As a result I'm now in the £13k club and loving it :j

    It really does feel like that at the moment! :beer: Your total in March was still fab though, well done!


    I have updated my sig (boo for not reaching 2400 mark) as I have just been doing one of my favourite things... moving my money around on payday! :D

    My total for March is £252 which is not brilliant but it's still money in the pot. Next month I should about double it though.

    Got some items on ebay at the moment, added £35 ebay profits (was more, but after fees etc) £22 quidco payment (had my email today) and £195 from wages.

    Looking forward to reading other posters' amounts!


    Haha my total for March is now £264.53 as my ISA earned a whole £12.53 this year and was paid to me yesterday.Not even sure what that interest rate is but maybe I should look around for a better one.
  • Am I allowed a contender no. for this challenge? :D

    Shadydaz, hope all goes well at work and fingers crossed for meeting targets.

    Found out that the bonus was intended for me, boss had just forgotten to mention it! So as a result, now have £1,400 to add to savings this month:eek::eek::eek::D:D:D.

    This was totally unexpected, I am :j at the moment. Putting it straight into savings so that don't spend it on too many :beer::beer:!

    Congratulations everyone else who has made progress this month.
