The "Save 12k in 2016" Thread!

cathybird

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.

166million

OK I started with £6642.31
Leaving me to save £5357.69 for 12k
I now have £7705.38
Take away £6642.31 = £1063.07
take off £340.76 for January = £722.31
take off £316.16 for feb= £406.15

131. 166million total for March £406.15

Well done :T

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.

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!!!

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:

I have updated mine. £197 in March after having to fork out for lots of yearly renewals including insurance! Feel lucky to have managed anything.

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

This was a regular saver ISA at 2.07%

(I also have two other regular savers at 4% and 5%)

Tomorrow I am going to bank £120 of £2 coins into my ISA.

Another £500 for me in March, however over the weekend I have seen my bet365 account rise from £70 to £165, had a very lucky weekend (skill) and some of that will probably go towards April savings !

£2015 pounds for me in April. Really knuckling down now to meet this goal.
