    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? :)

    Not sure if I will do so well for April, got a busy month coming up but will try to keep up the momentum!

    Well done on the savings front everybody :T

  • 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!!!

    hi all and for March am declaring £4,964 - now am going to go and have a lie down! I had a very frugal month and the eBaying, Amazoning and matched betting all went well, plus I got some cashback. I'm happy. :)

    Some of it is back pay from my previous job. Been hard work. Need a break to be honest, maybe do a short weekend away trip in the hill/mountains would be nice.

    Damn it. I have the Marie Kondo book somewhere around my room. Haven't got round to reading it yet. Now where is it? :think:

    That's dangerous. For a moment, I thought it was 'reporting 166 million for month of March'.:eek:
