    I'm a bit late but declaring just over £4100 for March, partly from some unexpected inheritance money. It has gone straight into my Isa to give me a chance to max it out this financial year

    Have just submitted my March total of -£200 :(

    This is due to OH spending on car parts for his Morris Minor rebuild, plus some unavoidable plumbing work.

    Hopefully I can do better next month!
