    Happy Easter everyone :p

    Thanks SF for updating - the spreadsheet is having some good % colours on it now :T. Well done to all on your savings!

    Half way through month, saved £850 at the mo. Might be able to go over 1k if wages/bills allow. Got quite few trips to hospital at the end of this month (DH needs heart surgery) so need to put some money aside for the extra Diesel and childcare for our two young kids etc. Joys!

    DH & I have signed up for extra work over next 3 months so will increase our wages quite a bit - all will help! :D

    Good luck to all! xx

    A paltry £115.75 to report for me for March (form submitted)

    We've just had a bad month expenses wise - DS is learning to drive, holiday deposits needed paying etc etc.

    Must try harder next month :(

    April update for me at #075.

    Still a bit of the month to go and a holiday to pay for, so by May I'm sure this will have dropped!

    Really motivates me when I update on here so thanks to everyone for keeping this going strong.

    Saved £1,465.39 for April so far :)

    I've been terrible at updating :(

    Going through the spreadsheets, it is £1817.68 for January, £1609.88 for February, and £2110.10 for March, for a total of £5,537.66 for the first quarter of 2017. Still a fair bit of work to go, but starting to pick up the pace so onwards and upwards :)
