March payday update - £750 into main savings, £250 into my Regular Saver, £125 into my new mountain bike fund and £125 into my ISA. We now have pretty much short/medium/longterm savings.
Overpaid on both mortgages too so burning the candle from both ends.

Wow, some impressive saving going on. I've just added £220 to my savings (updated sig). I was supposed to get another £300 money owed paid back to me today, might get it tomorrow, so I will further update if I do. Happy saving everyone.0

Declaring £35 for March... I know it's rubbish but I haven't been working... will be starting my new job on 13th April and then can get back on the savings bandwagon!# 072 'Save 12K in 2015' - £345 / £3000

Well done everyone for this month's savings!
Skyblue, I think that adding to your savings at all is impressive for someone who isn't working, when I wasn't working my savings were depleting.

I believe it changes colour when you reach a certain percentage.What does the green, yellow, orange and red colours mean on the percentage saved column in the spreadsheet?
I have just added another £50 to my savings. I am hoping to get another £260 owed me in the next day or two, so that will be added to March total if I do.0 -
