So my current account minus my credit card bill, minus my other credit card bill, minus the £122 that I was in negative savings with last month (I have confused even myself with that) equals £1625.05!!!
I am happy with that!2025 April £257/£300
May £255.24/£250
June £243/£230 NEED TO CHECK RECEIPTS TO BE SURE
July £ /£2400 -

great job LS...
Well between you and me most of that is people paying me back what they owe me, refunds of random things, some from a while ago and it has all come together during this month. Looks good, doesn't it? It won't be like that next month though.2025 April £257/£300

Chelseablue, on the first post on the first page there is a link that leads you to a update form, fill this out three times with the amounts posted above with the different months then they will be added to the spreadsheet by slowly fading who is boss lol...
Then if you want you can click on the spreadsheet link to see how others are doing and see your balance increasing...
Well done amazing savings especially as you have a young child too, impressive...

Thank you Westie983
Must confess the savings aren't all me, it is joint with my boyfriend. Saving to move up from a flat to a house0 -
I am declaring a massive 3965.56 this month. A little late purely because life has been so hectic of late and I am trying to slow down.
Yes the figure looks unbelievably high and in some ways it is, I don’t know what my credit card bill is this month so that will start having a lagging effect on my figures so I suspect next month could be zero or a negative number – purely because I am paying for those rings.
Still happy with how this year is going, as I am getting married my plan for the remainder of the year is to get rid of this loan I have from Sainsbury’s (3.7%) by overpaying 1k-1.5k a month... keep my cash levels that I have somehow (8 months net salary).
I am really curious how I will perform by the end of the year!
Good luck all and I’ll catch up with everyone else soon.
My Goal: From 1st of Jan 2015 to 31st of December 2015 is to save 30000.
48.78% towards 2015 target.
105.3% towards 2014 target. :j0 -

I'm feeling fairly happy that I'm 39% to target 33% through the year!
However, there are car servicing, paying for the new wall and getting the house painted to be paid for this year...:cool:“And all shall be well. And all shall be well. And all manner of things shall be exceeding well.”
