    Hi everyone,

    Just a note that if you have joined topcashback and have an iPhone or android phone, you can download their free app and get money paid in for buying some in-store products!

    Currently there are offers on about 10 Things including Pringles, Clover butter, Activia so if you are buying them anyway you might as well get cash back! You just have to scan your receipt and money is paid in once validated!

    If you haven't joined topcashback yet, would be great if you can use my tell a friend link, just let me know and I'll PM you! :)

    Glad to hear that people are doing so well.

    I don't have anything transferred so far but I'm having issues with my ex and tax credits. Hopefully it'll be sorted this month and I will get some money backdated :-)

  • Hi everyone

    £250 saved so far this month. Not sure if I will be able to manage much more but will not declare fully until the end of the month. I am so inspired by all of your commitment and thank you so much to slowlyfading for keeping the thread going.

    Happy saving everyone.

    Not much this month for me - hadn't put as much aside for Christmas as I needed to. :o

    £625 for January - time to a) update the front sheet and b) knuckle down!! :)
    I've got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.
  • Just listed some books on Amazon so hopefully will have the proceeds of these to add to the savings soon.

    Not sure I'm going to be able to save anything like what I wanted to! Realised I'd missed out £100 of my outgoings when I worked out what I had coming in and out each months, makes saving £150 a month somewhat tricky, even if I pretend I don't need to spend anything on myself ever in a month!

    How do other people manage to consistently put aside good amounts of money each month? Are you all earning loads of pennies?!

    £452.85 = my January total. Not bad for maternity leave but needs to improve if I've to make my target!
