So I got a bit more commission than I thought I would this month ^_^ So decided to save £1450. £3950 so far I may extend my £8000 target to £12000 as I'll be putting in a lot of hours over the summer unless I go travelling. Who do i contact about this?

Update the form on the first page. You can change your target and declare the amount you saved on the same form.

Tomorrow is March, a new month and an attempt to kick on with this!! At £2,100 odd after first 2 months! Just can't wait to crack on with the higher income months over the summer and get the money stashed away!

I'm declaring £347.11 for this month and have submitted it on the first page. I have never ever in my life saved over £700 before and I'm on target for the £3000 still Yay!

Total of £1019 for February, this month looks a bit expensive with tax/MOT/service due on the car, so unlikely to do quite as well but won't be disastrous and pleased to be on roughly the right track

Good news though is nastyloan is GONE which makes the saving trek a lot easier from now on.

Just updated the sheet. Surprised I managed to save £1290 so far. That will peter out now as various sources of funds disappear. Still aiming for £4000 this year though, on top of my attempts to OP mortgage. Let's see.....!

So by clearing out my PayPal, selling few things on eBay and draining accounts I have added 1000 this month from wages- I think I may be cutting it fine but trying to pay myself first! I'll transfer money back if I reeeeally need to...

It's funny how, when you have put the money into savings, you try everything in your power to not have to transfer it back. Think about every single purchase before you make it and decide if you really, really need it.

Starting March with a small but perfectly formed £1.25 (got an interest payment of 73p on one of my accounts that I thought had stopped paying interest! It is a regularly used account, I don't have savings sitting in a non-interest bearing account!!)

Happy March everyone
