    £1416.20 for me in February, not the great month that January was but still on track - current total is £3488, so nearly 20% of the way there.

    March looks like it'll be a bit of a battle as it's one of the expensive annual-bills months for me. I've started off with £350 pushed in to savings, so we'll see how it goes :)

    V disappointed with Feb's total of £135 due unforeseen expenses, and don't think March will be much better with service/MoT due on Monday, 5 birthdays, and a week away at the end of the month :eek:. Got to look on the bright side though, so next month will be better :)
  • Total now stands at £505.00/£3000 - I'm very happy with that as we have had extra expenses this month - car tax £143 & £180 to repair our fence that had blown down :mad:
    Well done everyone else who has managed to save this month :T
    Emergency Savings Fund - £1100

    I have managed to add a total of £614 during Feb!

    SF, I may have accidentally not selected a month when I did the update, would you be able to find it?

    I'm declaring £593 for Feb.
    A lot better than Jan for me.

    it's taking me a while to sort my banking out but I've now just applied for a Yorkshire current account which will make my total 4 (never thought i'd have 4 bank accounts)

    Hi.

    Is it possible for me to join? I'm 'saving' but what for is still undecided. It will either be going on one of our debts, or it will be used to help get us through my maternity leave, depending on how quickly my husband can find new permanent employment.

    I find it easier / more motivating to view it as 'savings' rather than 'paying off debt'! If allowed to join can I set my target at £6,000 please :) I'd like to hit this by end of June.

    Thanks.

    In the spreadsheet, what does it mean when the overpaid column is green or red?
    It depends on the % overpaid I think, but it doesn't work very well :o
