    Well I managed to save nothing in January. I spent exactly the amount I earned! However, I'm hopeful I will do better in February as no council tax to pay (normally £166) so I'm not giving up.:D

    Congratulations Slowlyfading and Thank You for running this challenge.

    Whoopsie. Somehow miscounted and saved £625, not 615 for Jan.

  • Good start to February.....

    Finally got my £100 cash back for switching to Plusnet for Broadband, plus realised I had put more than needed into my 'annual bills' saving account so transferred £750 into proper savings fund. 2 days in and up to £850 already! :j Now need to stay disciplined and keep putting in £250 a week from weekly wages.

    No council tax this month or next so will save some of that although I have to keep some back as my monthly bills are slightly higher than my 4 weekly pay.
