    Declaring £1950 for March. Really pleased with that, I know that the next two months will be expensive so I won't be able to keep it up..

    March payday update - £750 into main savings, £250 into my Regular Saver, £125 into my new mountain bike fund and £125 into my ISA. We now have pretty much short/medium/longterm savings.

    Overpaid on both mortgages too so burning the candle from both ends.

  • Wow, some impressive saving going on. I've just added £220 to my savings (updated sig). I was supposed to get another £300 money owed paid back to me today, might get it tomorrow, so I will further update if I do. Happy saving everyone.
  • Declaring £35 for March... I know it's rubbish but I haven't been working... will be starting my new job on 13th April and then can get back on the savings bandwagon!

    Well done everyone for this month's savings!

    Skyblue, I think that adding to your savings at all is impressive for someone who isn't working, when I wasn't working my savings were depleting.

    My savings are up £800 :)

    What does the green, yellow, orange and red colours mean on the percentage saved column in the spreadsheet?

    It's not rubbish - anything saved is good. Good luck with the new job.

    I believe it changes colour when you reach a certain percentage.

    I have just added another £50 to my savings. I am hoping to get another £260 owed me in the next day or two, so that will be added to March total if I do.

    Yay, just sent in my first update for this year. Only £200 but had a few birthdays to fork out for this month; hopefully things will pick up a bit as the year progresses :)
