Just £34 put away today but it all counts. Would have been more but just paid for two tyres £170 so lucky that anything was saved. Found 10p on the pavement this morning so that was put in the pot for next payment into account :rotfl:
Savings to date £1764.85/£3000 - 58%MARCH £62.38/2500 -
£14.72 in interest this month in my savings account! Not checked the 'wedding fund' that has now evolved into the 'house deposit fund' but reckon that will have earned £10 in interest and now we are starting to cook on gas!
I personally don't count interest onto my running total as I want to save 12k in capital and let the interest I earn be a bonus!
Fingers crossed that I can save a decent amount from Aprils pay and then allow myself to get that pair of trainers I promised myself 3 months ago!!!!!Millionaire in Training
