    Better than expected in January. Savings + interest = £1,547.76 (11.9% of target after month one).:j

    Normally I would expect February to be lower as only 4 weekly paydays, but should have some cash-back which has been paid but not reached my account yet and I will also be able to move some money from my annual bills account (which I don't count as savings) into savings as I already have enough in there.

    Congratulations on your news SF!

    Declaring £2355 for Jan. A brilliant start, this includes my final wage so my future monthly savings will be a lot lower. Popping over to update the spreadsheet now.
