Transfered over £9.68 for the VSP challenge. I get paid tomorrow:D so more should go in then.

Just found out I won a tenner in the lottery at the weekend so that's gone in the pot. Payday tomorrow so the fund will get a £500 boost from salary and then I've got 2 weeks to sell some more stuff out of the attic on Ebay. Should be on track to get the grand this month without bumping up my normal savings amount from salary, although I will end up falling back on the current account 'cushion' a bit through the year.

Great to see everyone is doing so well!

January's total is in for me.

Its £630.49

A decent start, but the summer months should be better

£1 in my £1/day pot and fed Shirley the Shrapnel pig a little bit of loose change.

Read the flyer DH had picked up about the table top sale and they don't start until March so that was a bit of a disappointment but will definately sign up for that one.

I am hoping my tax rebate cheque clears tomorrow so I can transfer it in to the savings along with my usual Friday account sweep.

Well looking at my bank balance at the moment it looks like I have approx £600 left at the moment, I just hope I can get through the rest of the month without spending too much of it. I've been trying to think of ways of boosting income and reducing outgoings today as I had a day off. Productive things I've done today include - phoning the nursing agency I do overtime for to give them some days which I can work, so will just need to wait for them to get back to me with any shifts. I've got the number of a mobile hairdresser who I've been told is half the price of my current hairdresser, I've recently dyed my hair brown in hope that it will be less upkeep than my usual blond locks, but I will still need a regular trim and a mobile hairdresser will be really convenient so if its cheaper as well that a bonus. Husband is looking to buy into his share scheme at Johnson Matthey part of his wages will go directly into the share scheme but we don't know how long he has to have them before he can sell them on, if it's too long then I don't think it will be worth it as we need the money in the near future. Well let's just hope that tomorrow is as productive, I may go and sort the children's bedroom they have outgrown loads of clothes I could take the worn out ones to the clothes bank and make some extra money and possibly sell some on eBay, although I hate selling on eBay :-(

£4.71 received in interest, so added that to the Quidco payment received. Salary's in tomorrow so £500 set up on standing order (£450 to regular saver, £50 to general savings). May be another £100 ish to savings from o/time which should be paid but need ro check the amount after vat before moving that :0)

Will declare monthly total once its confirmed: £524 is really good savings for us though and means on track for £6k just got to try & keep it up!
