    £39 left in current account, nothing due to come out and payday tomorrow so have transferred £35 to savings - total £276.73 ;)

    It's nice to be part of a thread where everyone has different goals and seeing how everyone else is getting along aswell, it's good motivation I think.

    Hope everyone's enjoying the weekend. I'm making flapjacks for work in a bit. Always get peckish mid-morning and saves buying cereal bar/chocolate :)
    #39 - Save £12k in 2025
  • Payday tomorrow - however only going to be putting £20 into my savings account as got quite a few additional things to pay for in Feb. So will be a total of £240 put away this year so far - 10 more payslips and need to save another £2260.

    Will be reporting back at the end of Feb.
  • Morning all,

    Debt Dec 10 £14,133. Now £11,988 (Work in progress)
  • i will join too - i hope to have saved 1000 by the 20th march i will do this by earning 10.00 extra a day and aiming for at least 3 no spend days a week i am moving in with the mother in law on the 15 feb so hopefully that will also help me save xx
  • I am hoping to have £1500 saved up by the end of December. I am saving a little bit monthly into a First Direct regular savings account which gives 8% interest. By end of March I should have £265 in there. A paltry sum I know but with the scale of my debt paydown plan I can only drip a little bit into savings, at least until October when one of my loans will be paid up. Good luck with your challenge though.
    Regards
    Cliff

    £20 into savings account from paypal withdrawl today :)

    total £296.73.

    I'm dying to make a big payment towards it but can't until I know which bank account my mortgage is coming out of on 7th. In the middle of switching to First Direct. Once mortgage comes out will be putting hopefully about £300 away :)

    £5.26 in Amazon vouchers requested from TCB but not counting this, only counting hard cash lol
