  • This month has been pretty good for us on the savings front, although we have paid for flights for our winter hols, so that did leave a bit of a hole. Plus no.2 son has moved back home after struggling to make ends meet post-uni in Manchester.... so that's another mouth to feed temporarily!

    Reporting £1787.90 for September.

    Happy saving everyone.

  • Had a great month this month declaring £773.69 for September; which moved me just under £200 off my target :) Also made the last payment on my student loan which I'm ecstatic about.

    Next month might not be as high as I have my car insurance to pay; but should fingers crossed make my target.

    Well done everyone keep up the good work. :beer:

  • Well done everyone!

    Managed to save £1,647.50 this month - would have been more but had some big car expenses to pay for. Some of this came out of my Annual Bills account (which I don't include in the total), but the rest came out of salary.

    October will have 5 pay weeks and the annual interest added from my regular saver account, so should have a similar amount to save this month as well.

    Having a dilemma; I'm on track to declare approx. £1,000 for October.


    BUT I have a credit card balance of £600 (0% interest)


    Should I;


    a) Pay off the whole £600 and only save £400


    b) Pay off half and save £700, then pay the other half next month.


    c) Something else I haven't thought of.
