I've managed £1251.93 for January. It would have been a bit more but I had to buy a new hard drive for my laptop.

What date does this get updated? I get paid the last working day of the month and just don't want to miss it or jinks myself declaring too early ����.

Slowlyfading will be along in a while and pick up the January updates. Like you I always wait until the last working day of the month to get paid and make the final tidying savings. Last year (my first) she always did a post-end of month clear up spreadsheet update as loads of us forget or get distracted as well as having different month-ends and we don't update at the same time. Fear not, put your form in saying which month it is, and it will be added to the right one.

Well my savings have been given a lovely boost. My very kind mum has given me £5k towards a car so my savings will be over the top this month. I also have some things selling on Ebay so won't declare until the last day of the month as I have a few paid dog walks to do which will go straight into the saving update.
Everyone is doing so well - I thought January would be lean!

Some mixed first months on here I see - lots of people doing great and lots of people feeling the January pinch!

I'm gutted I can't post my first month yet. But the good news (for those who remember that my company went under in December so I lost my job) is that I have a new job... and a pay rise. The only downside is they pay on the last working day of the month and I'm itching to start posting my numbers, even though they're going to be awful for January!!

No. 96 reporting in

£1000 saved this month. This money was taken from my wages when I was paid at the end of December and I didn't spend it. I have no idea how I did it tbh. I am hoping that there will be several more months like this!

That is good news boboski. Hope you enjoy your new job.
