    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.
  • Just wondered if other people are including interest in there savings, I dont think I will as it isnt new money.

    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! :j

    I am, as long as it gets saved and not spent! :p

    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. :o
    I've got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.
  • Very well done Chris!

    P.S I love your Sig!

  • Just wondered if other people are including interest in there savings, I dont think I will as it isnt new money.

    I do, because it is money that goes into your savings and increases them.
  • 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!
  • 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.
