Wow that felt like a long month.

have updated fab spread sheet with a total of £715 for feb:j
I am gob smacked, first month debt free and i can't get over how much i've saved - i did have OT but still! :T

i earned £5 on surveys for amazon, so can buy ebooks. (first thing i've got from surveys)
today i sold some [EMAIL="!!!!"]!!!![/EMAIL] i'd stashed under the spare bed at cash genertators which got me £45.
Plus my £20 hair cut from the mobile hairdresser is amazing, best hair cut in years
I had opened a Halifax account for the £100 bonus plus £5monthly but they are pants. their on line banking is a nightmare and i've had tons of letters not saying much. So i opened a first direct account sunday. Today i had a great pack through that was easy to read and completely recyclable. will have the rest in a few days - so much easier.
Will just have to transfer money about for a couple of months to get both bonuses. Even santander were better than halifax!!

well done REDBULL5 and everyone else :beer:

£764 for me this month. Not as much as I would have liked, but it is lower because I have finally cleared my credit card and so am officially debt free :-)

Good luck for next month everyone!

I had a big January : £800

But February has been slow: £400


March should be at least: £600


I'm aiming for around the 8k mark. 12k is a tad unrealistic right now. Having close to 10k savings by the end of 2012 would be an amazing way to enter 2013.


I'm going to consider looking into ways of making the savings "work for me" though. I know it's tempting to just admire your balance but im pretty sure i can work some sort of way to maximize things. Suggestions on a postcard, of course.

Got £40 payout from onepoll. Didn't expect it until the middle of March so will include it in March total

Well not planning to add anything today, if I get anything I'll add it tomorrow (and thus get a start on March) so I have a monthly total.

There's a little inconsistency between my account balance and the running total I have but as the account balance is done automatically rather than by my memory that's what I'm trusting.

So for Feb I saved £460.83 :beer:which I'm definitely pleased with, so going to add that to the spreadsheet. I'm also over a 1/3 of the way to my goal for the year .
