  • Another £250 into regular savings account so far for March. Have set up a regular weekly payment so I don't have to think about saving ! Bank account does it for me. Miffed that interest rate has dropped so soon after setting up account. Not sure whose side they are on.... definitely not on mine ! Thanks to SF for all your hard work keeping track of all the savings.

    £3625/£4000 :j
  • Paid off my car, insurance, a couple bills and for a couple of tickets for events later on in the year, also managed to spare £50 after that for my savings. Won't have much to pay for with next Friday's pay so can now start saving (at last) :D

  • Well it's been a long month for me and still another 10 days until pay day:eek:

    I have managed to save £300 so far this month but have then decided to pay off my cc in full which has left me with a huge £1100 dint in my savings as the 0% deal was finishing.

    Having also read about tax rebates on another thread, I rang up and am due a nice little rebate for washing my own uniforms and professional fees etc. I'll post the exact amount when I receive the cheque :D

    Keep going everyone, you're all fabulous savers :T
