Hi

Declaring total for February is £324.22. My new total is now £707.50 :j:j I'm so delighted. It is not on target but anything saved is a bonus.

Will complete form now for adding to the spreadsheet.

Happy saving everyone.

Hi all, no 143 here, declaring £200 for February, front page updated too.

I've managed £500 this month - I got the keys to my house a few weeks ago :j and so have been spending lots more than usual (mostly at B and Q!)

Hopefully next month I'll have set up all my direct debits etc and will have a better idea what I'll be able to save for the rest of the year, am hoping £12000 is just about manageable...

February payday and my largest ever salary! We have put £600 into the new house fund, I have saved £250 into my Regular Saver and also managed to save an extra £1,300!!! Happy days! So declaring £2,150 in total!!!!

We are still overpaying on the mortgages and the house goes up for sale this week! So it is all hands on deck to continue overpaying and saving up to widen the gap of equity at both ends.....if you get me?

No holidays besides the summer week in Sea Palling booked, though we have booked 2 nights at a B&B in Ambleside over Easter weekend as a 'mini' treat!

Well done everybody on the totals! 2 months down, 10 to go!

Currently at £2100, woohoo! :j :j :j We're now planning a big holiday for the summer so may not be on target for the year, but I'm carrying on regardless Congrats to everyone else, we're all doing so well... even if we're not on track, we're still saving :grouphug:

Reporting £440 this month! Lower than I wanted but I paid off my CC completely as the 0% period is up, paid for my holiday deposit (Centre Parcs with friends in September) and I also paid for all of my March train travel and a hotel stay... so March should be better! My March payday will also be my last at my current salary, getting a payrise from April onwards so I hope to surpass my £8k target with some luck.

I have somehow managed to save £1500 this month which is unheard of for me!

I now have £10k in savings! Slowly plodding towards a house deposit!

Evening all,

Tomorrow is month-end, so don't forget to update the spreadsheet for those who have not already done so. This will make our incredible slowlyfading's job easier.

Just sent £1,000 to S. Africa to sort out the boiler (value for money if you're earning £££s) and am overpaying on my mortgage tomorrow. On track ..... I can't believe the results - all due to people like you.

Happy saving everyone, no matter how much it may be. You are all winners.

Hi All,

Many congrats everyone on some impressive savings this month! I've just reported £485.98 for February on the update form - slightly better than I thought a couple of weeks back (I've been very strict with myself on cutting back on coffee & cake!!). But still only 50% of where I need to be if I'm going to hit 12k for the year. The next few months are currently looking fairly reasonable though, so aiming to have 6k saved by the end of June.
