    I want to do 16800 regular (annual) and try for 5000 discretionary (467.74 over 9 months remaining). I think the discretionary target might be a bit high but I need something to aim for as when I’m on autopilot I get distracted by shiny boxes of Est!e Lauder. I have an annual target of 21800.
    So what are your totals for Jan/Feb/March? :)

    Hi, can I join in please. I have been saving and have £6,200. I am hoping to save £800+ per month. I fell from grace last year, as my circumstances drastically changed. Hope to make it this time. My lucky number is 3 - I think I was that last year - or 33, can't remember which one, if any of them are available it would be lovely. Thanks.

    Hello all. Everyone is making great progress, we just need to keep it up until the end of the year.


    I saved £1350 in March, which is reasonable. It's payday today and the new job has finally got me on the right tax code and refunded all that emergency tax. So I'm expecting April to be a bumper month..

    I have managed (with a surprise gift from family) to save £1,175 this month.

    This brings me up to £2,853 so far which is close to half my target. :j

    I have always been a saver but this challenge is definitely helping me to try to save as much as possible, I'm loving it.

    So glad I saw this thread and decided to join the challenge.
