The "Save 12k in 2016" Thread!

£261.62 saved this month ; seriously less than expected but we've booked and paid for a couple of holidays this month (and taken one of them!) So it should all average out over the year ok. Hope everyone else is staying motivated.

I have had a perfect storm of bills this month, the costs (some expected, most not) just kept dropping on me (electrician, plumber, needed to buy a new fridge, computer has had problems, tax bill, insurance, tree surgeon, vet, among other things, you name it) but have managed to limp in with £173.10 savings to end up with £1,854.25 for the year so far. Seriously, I really thought I would be declaring nothing for this month and very probably going backwards so I'm pretty thrilled with that. I have some catching up to do in March, but it looks at the mo as though it will be a lot easier than Feb.

There_Is_a_Light

Number 150 declaring February's savings.

£1166.59 for the month bringing my total so far to £3428.46. I was hoping that a switch paid out before the end of the month but it will go towards March total. Off to submit form.

I am really impressed with how everyone is doing and I really do get spurred along when I see everyone's progress.

Hope everyone has a fab March.

Transferred another £8 to my regular saver
( it is like my very own version of the online sealed pot challenge where you round you money down in your bank account to another pot). All my bills have been paid, all monies have gone out so now I keep in my account multiples of ten (what you can draw out by cash machine plus a few spare pennies to ensure that my account ALWAYs stay in credit. Will update signature / fill in form when I get paid.
