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!0

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::staradmin Star from Sue-UU

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.0

I've resubmitted my reported amount for February. Should now be £870 instead of £850, as I found a spare £20 floating about in the end-of-month assessment of the budget.
Retired at age 56 after having "light bulb moment" due to reading MSE and its forums. Have been converted to the "budget to zero" concept and use YNAB for all monthly budgeting and long term goals.0 -
