    SF thank you for all your efforts. The vast majority of people truly appreciate the time and effort you put in to run this thread and as many have said it is inspirational and I for one would not be saving as much as I do without this thread.
    My figure for Feb is £1500 and I am No 55.
    No. 5 in the 'Save 12k for 2021' thread.
    £4250/£12000

    Hello,

    Feb has been a bit of a up and down month for lots of reasons here, one of the main ups has been that I have finally paid off my credit card- before the interest kicked in, woo yeah!! One of the main downs is that my cat needs £170 of dental work :-(.
    Anyhow, i've managed to save £300, for Feb- spread sheet updated.
    Keep up the good work everybody, some fantastic figures which have been really motivating.

    Merry

  • Late update for Feb... Sorry!! But managed to save a total of £900 through a combination of overtime and tightening the budget...

    I've found a few ways to try and squeeze a little more into savings each month as it appears OH has pretty much decided on a date for our wedding... Hopefully 20 months to save and a very modest "do" though, so shouldn't be too hard on the bank account!!

    Congrats to everyone on the updates!! :T

  • Thanks for all your hard work SF. I have found this thread and last year's great motivators for saving and do appreciate all your hard work.


    Congratulations to Shoot- that 20 months will fly by :)


    Right £775 moved to savings after pay day and £6.01 interest. Hopefully there should be a bit more to add later this month once Mr F is paid.

    I've submitted an update form showing my February savings total of £800. I've dedicated a separate bank account for the monthly sums so that I can watch my progress towards £12k in 2015 and stay motivated.
