    I know it's not March yet, but I've been paid for March (25th of each month and I've whacked March's savings already into the e-saver!
    So MrCF I have submitted my form for my March total :rotfl:, sorry I haven't been on the thread much, but I've not been on the site much recently. Need to remedy that as my spending was bad again last month :eek:
  • Added £6 today taking Feb balance to £65 so I've managed to equal Jan total. :)

    I was surprised to find, when I worked out my spare cash this month, that I was able to save quite a bit, so feeling very pleased with myself as, I think, I have reached my target. I am unsure of how much I will be able to put aside each month, so we shall have to see how things go.
