Hello. Number 100 checking in for January. Have saved £300this month which I am pleased with. Am also trying the 52 week challenge but not putting that in sig. Keep up the good work everyone.

Well done everyone!

Our savings this month-
£400 direct debit on the first
£60 refund from a utility company (a year later!!)
£100 saved from my self-employment pay


So I am declaring a total of £560 saved for the month :j

We moved all the unspent money after payday into the savings too but that was today, so will count it as February savings.

I'm also only including money saved into our mortgage savings- we have another account for car savings but since someone drove into and wrote off our car this month I am expecting to have to spend that pretty soon!

P.S. I may have messed up the spreadsheet a little- I submitted a figure at the beginning of the month and then again now, still getting the hang of it all! Will only submit one a month in future- sorry!

Seeing all these updates makes me want to contribute, but I'm paid mid month so I still have a couple of weeks.

Well done to everyone who is saving, we're nearly at the first 100k .

Did a car boot this morning to clear the clutter, came back with barely anything and £84 going straight into the savings account

Just out of interest, is everyone saving up for something in particular (eg. holiday, house deposit etc) or are the savings more of a rainy day fund? OH and I are getting married next year :j and also our house really does need a new bathroom so my savings from this year will probably go towards those 2 things.

I'm saving for a house deposit, though I live in the south east so I could be saving for years at this rate...
