The "Save 12k in 2015' Thread!

#65 reporting £926.22 for April

My usual £800 savings, a tiny £1.22 of interest and £125.00 for opening a Halifax account.

I've joined the people over at the current account boards making the most of the account opening offers. I'll hopefully get another £100 from Co-op in May.

Last night I came home from work in a bit of a grump but instead of my idea of a pint and a meal out, my partner convinced me to go to a gym class and then she cooked a lovely meal and we caught up with stuff on the Sky planner. So essentially a 'free' evening.. as all of those things were already paid for with our monthly budget costs. The best things in life are.... budgeted for

With OHs car and other expenses this month (insurance, rac membership, car tax for my car) I too would be declaring a negative number. My plan is to declare zero savings until I reach the point where I was before.

I'm always looking for ways to make saving, investment and extra money and now loads of ideas are in one place! Thanks!

Just done April's "banking" - declaring £525.58 for April, so up to £819.13 for the year, or 13.7%.

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.

Ah Tara sorry to hear you're feeling a bit despondent. Don't be because despite a very expensive start to the year you're still adding to the savings. I'm confident you will smash that 100k barrier very soon! I've been a very long time lurker on here before I started posting and your amazing savings journey is inspiring.:T But don't buy a house just yet because you're spurring me on and I'm a selfish moo who needs the motivation....:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hello all,

I couldn't wait to see my little row turn orange on the spreadsheet! Getting there, keep up the good work everyone and thank you SF for the thread and the updating.

And yet another £125 whisked away to savings account by standing order. I don't even have to think about it. How clever is that !
