£60 for the ISA over the last two days so sig is updated. Payday is either tomorrow or Saturday so more will be going in soon all being well. I'm slowly getting towards the £7.5k total.

ETA - £400 to the ISA today so I've updated the sig. I'm just under £500 away from the £7.5k total now, quite excited about hitting that in the next month or so!

I made a sale of a series of books on eBay and netted about £30 from the sale!

That went right into savings, bringing me up to £4,580.01. That'll likely be all I can put in for the rest of March. So, hopefully, the interest will be a good few pounds.

Hi All, it's been a full year since i first started my savings journey. I stand at about £9800. It would have been nice to have broken into 5 figures but i am just shy of it. I think i have done ok but i cold have done much better. I have had quite a few unexpected expenditures which have kept down the amount i have saved. However at least i am moving in the right direction.

Hi All,

Being a single mom to two boys I don't know how I've managed all these years without any savings????? So Last year I finally decided to start saving and all i could afford was £100pcm. I now only have £600 saved. I earn a decent wage but seem to always be broke??? Bad money management, anyway my new years resolution was to manage my money better and increase my savings.

Soo on that note I would like to join in. Im going to increase my savings to £400 pcm and by December I should have £5K saved! WISH ME LUCK!!
