I know I'm off to a slow start so hoping to save more in Feb and catch up a bit. On the bright side 'some saving is better than no saving'

Hi All. Well done on all the savings so far. I have been saving all my money into my offset savings account. This is reducing the amount I have to pay each month to the mortgage but I just save the difference back into the offset account - this morning that was £54. Have also added other wee bits and bobs - todays total is £5578.

I have £62 coming from Amazon sales which will be added to the savings when it arrives.

If I don't go to the shops, I don't spend, what a shame I didn't work this one out a very long time ago.

Reporting my January total: £1238.90 :j I will fill in the link from the first post.

Well done everyone, some great totals for a carppy month like January

Wow these are some amazing totals! You see I find saving frustrating because I have realised I already live relatively frugally, so saving an extra £200 a month is actually really tough. The sad reality of the matter is, I should find a better paid job!!

WOW - That is an amazing amount just to have in eBay sales! I'd be well happy if I could get that amount on a monthly basis.

Good luck with the rest of your selling!
