My savings diary

So I'm 18 and saving for a house deposit (might aswell start now deposits are expensive). Working full time, living with parents and other half.
Trying to keep track of my spending and saving and need to talk about it somewhere else before I bore everyone else to death.
I start this with...
£10479.50 - In cash ISA
£200.00 - Premium Bonds
£2000.00 - Index Linked Savings Certificates
£434.79 - Spare current account
£39.00 - Change pot

£13153.29 - Total

Aiming for £20000 by april.
I know that won't be enough but any more and any longer sounds too scary.

Congrats - to have saved that much by 18 is impressive!

Yeah i'm pretty pleased with myself especially as i've only been working since november.
Overtime has been pretty much my only activity though. 28 hours by the end of the month.
