  • I had a nightmare month. Had to pay out £1700 on my car on top of a weekend away I had which cost me £400. I think all of 2016's good work was undone in one month :(

    It seems as everybody is doing very well with their savings so far, so well done. Number 102 reporting for duty - Another good month from me this month managing to save £1,139.43 bringing my total to £3,779.67 or 41.99% of my target £9k. Had a bit of interest paid as it was the end of the tax year and messed up my finances from last month and after being paid a bonus at work I treated myself to a few bits and bobs and saved the rest. Well happy with that :D

    A good annual review at work netted a nice payrise so I have adjusted my target accordingly.

    Hi all, declaring a pretty decent £1019.57 for April. A not too expensive holiday was partially offset by a hefty Council Tax refund from last year. Barely doing any overtime at the minute so my amounts should be pretty similar to the above for the next couple of months at least. Hopefully I can increase this later in the year as I'm currently not on target.

    I've just had a look at the spreadsheet...and I guess I posted the wrong amount of savings! I saved 1.7k this month, not 17k (and i'll never save so much, unless i win a lottery)
    GC £~~/300
  • Been a tough month - did a lot of dipping - had a load of birthdays. My total is £6,700 - #176.
