The "Save 12k in 2016" Thread!

Buffythedebtslayer

I haven't updated in a while but thanks to a PPI pay out and an insurance pay out my ISA now stands at 7000 pounds.

I appreciate it isn't saving as such but I could have bought a more expensive car or a holiday and I didn't, so to me it is savings.

if it is against the rules I can pull out.

All money is counted, no matter where it comes from! As you say, you could have spent it but instead you saved it :beer:


Love your username btw

Buffythedebtslayer, I'm hoping to get some money back from the tax man that I will put away into my savings. Other prop have saved their PPI returns.

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

Its possible, maybe the 166 million went through personal accounts and a payment of £400 odd was the actual amount gained from Panama for admin services :rotfl:

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.

I'm literally turning into the hulk now

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.

Hard work or not it didnt kill you nor your savings

Camping or Glamping ?


Hint: The correct answer is MSEstyle

:rotfl:



Enjoy the break when you get it

reporting £600 for April however savings might go down from now on as I have to pay for home improvement I can't do myself, garage roof and bathroom as starters.

Two really crappy months in a row. 200 in savings for me this month (April).

Mainly because I've had massive expenses going out (new phone, new laptop, paying for flights and waiting for expenses to be paid out). Hoping I'll be able to make up for it in the next couple of months.

Hope everyone else is doing better! I haven't been able to go through all the posts - new job/no time.

Need to bow out of the this challenge I'm afraid as I've just bought a house so every penny is going towards this thank you for this thread wouldn't have saved so much in two years without it xx
