    Well done all!

    I saved £1,086.09 in March (woo!) to take me to 27.62% for the year so far, so I'm on track.

    Received £95 and change worth of interest today. Added a little more to make it a nice round £100.
    Will add it to monthly savings when I get paid and then fill in my update form.

    Nice! Maturing regular saver? Loads of savings? A really nifty little bank account with a skyhigh interest rate? :)

  • Really good month in March forme - £1500! More in one month so far than I have managed all year so far!

    Holding out for a good April: as well as usual savings and eBay post Marie Kondoing the house (still amazed what people will go buy!), hoping that someone I referred to work gets a job. Bonus of 1k if they take it!!!
