Update form submitted- I saved £100 in March. I spent a lot of money moving house last month but now with my new home I will be able to save each month £100 on rent and £84 on transport when I use the bus to work. My goal in April is to save £1000 so that I can catch up and have hope of reaching my end of year £12k target.

I wasn't aware of that either so will note that for next year. The stocks and shares isa I opened Tuesday though was my first as in previous years I have just invested in cash isas. Just filled out a "Bed and ISA" form to transfer my unwrapped investment into my new isa. I do like tidy savings.


On a tidy note is anyone else as anal as me in noting down passwords, pin numbers, account numbers etc etc? My husband is not at all money savvy so I have told him if anything happens to me (like I get run over by a bus or something :rotfl:) all the details of the various savings accounts, current accounts and investments are in a folder with all the details in our safe. Otherwise I don't think he would know where to start finding it all!

Enthusiasticsaver, I'm a bit like that, but I may have gone a little further! Although not including passwords, I've written a letter to our son in Melbourne (to be shared with my husband of course) and have lodged the letter with a trusted colleague. Have also told son and trusted family friend the locations of our wills and in the letter some of my wishes as to my jewellery have been added.

I am a very lucky lady. My family/in-laws are all very good and stick together when a loss occurs and there is no bickering. Top people.

Mixed month so far; cars MOT and Service came to just over £800 + almost £200 for tickets plus hotel for the Lion King next month :eek:; has certainly hit my savings a bit.

I've got a cashback payment of £150 now overdue; sent an email yesterday querying the delay; they replied basically saying that there is a delay as the promotion was a lot popular than expected.:mad:

On the plus side I got a late bonus from work today of about £360 which was unexpected which should hopefully mean I'll be able to break even this month; which is certainly better than posting a negative.

Writing off April already; just keeping an eye on my CC for this month and hopefully will have a lot better May.

The cash back money has finally arrived; so happy that I don't need to do anymore chasing.:j:j:j

Late March update!!

March was very expensive for me (for several reasons), so I'm declaring -£238 for the month, which makes my year to date total £248 and my overall total £85,087.

I've been stuck around £85,000 for several months now, and feeling a bit despondent as I've had so many expenses lately. I sometimes wonder if I'll even make it to £90,000 by the end of the year! But let's be positive

Also, I've seen a house that I love (and could comfortably afford), but it's close to being sale agreed.
