PoorGuyNextDoor

#30 still got the £12k to go. January was a write off. The amount i spent on repairs i shouldnt have any big garage bills again this year....i hope!!!! Febuary budget looks like breaking even then i will start the saving in March! Well done to all those that managed to save money in January, horrible month for me, always is!

Hi all, a little bit of a disappointing start to the year with £227.14 to declare for January.

Number 142

#70 declaring total for January as £1206.32...pleased with that, was hoping for a little more but it is 206.32 over my 1k per month target, so its a good start, and will give me a bit of a buffer. Got a big expense in Feb with having to get a new fence and there's 70ft to do - £1400:eek:, so that's going to have some impact - how much will depend on how much I can cut back on my day to day budget this month!

Anyway - well done everyone!

Oops, think I forgot to put my January post on here, although I submitted my savings amount on the form a few weeks back. January has been a relatively smooth month for us - we had the usual xmas bills to pay off the credit card, plus some Euros for a short break in the Canaries to help us through the gloomy British winter. But at least the holiday itself was paid for a few months back. Other costs included some DIY to re-paint the utility room. And also lots of leaving do's at work, for some reason??

For the regulars on the thread...I've updated my spreadsheet totaliser going back to 2012 to include the 2017 savings now, so you can see yourself on the totals here;
