I cannot believe how fast the year has gone by already!
It seems to go faster when youre trying to save up and hit targets.
I personally, think i have gone backwards in my savings, boo!
However, a nice little bonus this month will be dropping straight in the ISA, if i can live without a bonus, a bonus should be straight in the savings pot - tempting to treat myself though!
Well done everyone else, some nice totals! Keep up the good work.0 -
Just wondered if other people are including interest in there savings, I dont think I will as it isnt new money.0

Pay day yesterday and put £700 into my savings account. Not as much as I would like but still a respectable amount.
New total - £6040. More than half-way there! :j100% debt free

Declaring £782 this month (Excel sheet updated). I had to release some of March savings to pay the credit card bill for the car tax and MOT.
I've got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.0 -
Very well done Chris!
P.S I love your Sig!

I do, because it is money that goes into your savings and increases them.0 -
Another £700 from my wages into the pot today plus £100 that I owed so £800 for this month. Woohoo!
Must update my sig!
Well done everyone!

So...payday today and I've transferred my monthly £1k savings. It's going to be really tight this month with far too much going on the credit cards but as long as I can pay them in full when needed, I'm fine with that!
Well done everyone else for the great savings!0 -
Hi All. My update for April. New total is £6655.
I will add this to the update form on first page too. Well done everyone with savings so far.0
