    Will join please? Would like to save 12000 this year. Might have to skip january though as i just cleared my car loan so I am free of debt to start the year!

    £12k in 11 months? Jelly!
  • Just got a bit of good news in that my final bill from EON means we get £127.65 back by way of gas/electricity credit so not only do we get that but our new provider is charging us £40 less per month on our new fixed energy price deal. That plus my £150 switching bonus from First Direct bank means we should be better off by £277 in February. Every bit helps :)

    Hi all, NO 24 reporting with a small start to 2016 with £457.15. I have updated the sheet. Expensive month this month as my youngest son is off to Australia on Saturday for a possible 6 months to a year....really excited for him but apprehensive for him as well. I am sure he will be fine but we all know what Mums are like!!
    Take care all. x

  • £55 added to my regular saver today. Total in so far is £355. Hoping to get to £500 by end of the month.
  • You don't have to submit the form every time you save something - I just need your end of month total :)


    Oops sorry, Slowlyfading. I just realised that I didn't need to submit a form until I had the total saving amount for Jan :o I'll submit another form for my total savings at the end of Jan.

    Managed to stash away £1000 from my salary this month so am considering January a savings success. :)
    Make £10 per day in May challenge: £310/123.92
  • £1200 this month, though my S&S ISA is going down day by day so it's probably less than that as I type!:eek:

    It's been a heavyish month, offset by "free: council tax. I've paid a couple of hundred for a course, bought a new car battery and annual house insurance. The latter was £100, but I'm hoping for £40 cashback and £40 M&S vouchers so if they materialise that's a great bargain!
