#157 declaring for February.

Had quite a good month!
Saved £750 from wages, £150 from my First Direct switch and £100 from my Halifax switch. So thats £1000 into my TSB Classic Account.

Then sold one of my cars to a friend for £700, so thats £300 into my FD Reg Saver and £400 split between mine and my girlfriends Help to Buy ISAs.

So £1700 total for the month. Very happy with that.

Noticed the other day after closing my Lloyds accounts for switching that I have £800 in an old eSaver that I cant take out online now so next months plan is to go to a branch and get that cash out and add that onto next months save. As well as the £100 my girlfriend owes me!

Had a surprise PPI pay out and so have put 3000 in the ISA account(plus the normal 200), was a total shock and I urge everyone to apply, I thought I had 0 chance!

Total for February is £1600, I have just made an additional payment into my Kent Regular Saver, making the most of it before its matures next month.

Afternoon all, great to read all the updates! My February was fairly sedate with no big expenses, so I managed to save more than I was expecting, at £1k. I'm (pleasantly!) surprised at this, as I have separately made an overpayment on my mortgage too.

I had a number of expensive months in the second half of 2015, so its good to be back to MSE ways. I gave my spending an "audit" at Christmas to trim back where possible and it has definitely helped. All the small changes accumulate into something a bit more substantial

Have only managed to declare £253.66 for February. Have booked and paid for 2 holidays for this year so hopefully the savings train can go full steam ahead for March onwards, got a bit of catching up to do!

No 34 reporting just £50 for Feb. Not as much as I would like as I've had some expenses including buying a new pair of vari-focal glasses - expensive :eek:

Much better saving month this February. Managed a few nights out and still saved £825, bringing the total up to £966. Makes you think this savings business isn't that hard! Still a long way to go yet and I'm yet to book the yearly holiday, might hurt next month's savings.
