crapwithmoney, congtaulations on your engagement.

I put an extra £50 in my savings today, not a lot i know but its going to be a bad month as I have 3 weeks off work and am going on holiday. I figure that every little helps!

Woooo payday!!!!

I've put £500 into car savings. I've got to wait for my grandparents money to come through (woo lucky me), then I will add £300 to ISA. Then I have £240 to live off for the month, which I should be able to do. I aim to only live off around half that, but goodness knows with me!

Oh yes, and I weighed myself. I now weigh just under 11 stone. 2 years ago, when I started uni I was 9 and half. Ha. Pretty sure thats not good! Least I don't look like a skinny boy anymore mwahaha.

Total Savings: £18,860.55

Still can't beleive I have this much, I have not had a proper part time job for a year now, and still to manage to always go up in savings and not down .. I'm really proud of myself! Haha!

Wonder how long it will take me to get to £20,000 ... Wish me luck!

Haha and Lokolo, You sound like me .. I am really slim, and I am always weighing myself, always proud when I put on weight haha!

Just realised my 8.5% A+L account runs out on 23rd August. Going to close it down then open it up again in 3 months (reliably informed i can do this) its a bit of hassle moving my dd's/SO's but it has to be done, the prem accounts gone down to 6% now which is a shame, but still better than most. Paid another £160 worth of coins in today so want to get as much interest as possible from that.

Driving_Soon, what job do you do? Your post confused me, sorry for the question!

My plans are on track. Got paid this week and managed to put an extra £2000 into my share-based investment plan which means that August will see a total of £4000 into those funds, plus £250 into an instant cash saver, and £3785 into my pension plan.

Over £8000 into savings for August. Not bad :-)

I'm at college currently, Just finished first year of 2. I manage to get jobs here and there, helping out a mate bulding like once a month, but it's nothing major. Sorry to confuse you haha! I confuse alot of people!

You're doing great, especially if you're not in full-time employment! £20k doesn't sound like it's too far off (only just over £1k away really). Should be sometime soon hopefully!

Your posts always make me feel so inadequate :rotfl:

Seriously, though, well done on the savings. :T
