Well DH got paid today and so I have squirrelled away the balance from last month, the rounding down of his pay, and the 90p difference between the round of drinks and £20 (4 drinks, good grief!) - anyway, there is no point in delaying posting as I have almost nothing left in the other account - so my total for Feb is £970.81 - off to fill in my form
Some really good efforts guys. I realise the amounts we save are different but the discipline of doing so is great from all of us. Well done everyoneSave £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £4863.32 out of £6000 after May (81.05%)
OS Grocery Challenge in 2025 I am at £1286.68/£3000 or 42.89% of my annual spend so far

That's what I doJust report what you've saved, don't bother with the gains/losses as these change daily and can obscure your actual savings effort. Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Hi Everyone
I'm declaring for February. All extra income from dog walks and house sits and a couple of regular saving accounts - plus the little Ernie win = £3604.98. So that's my 2 best months of the year (I expect anyway).
Hi Slowlyfading I think I may have messed up my update and used the 2012 template just now - sorry if I have. Perhaps you could check for me - I number 71.
Thank you and well done everyone. Let's make March about money!0 -
