  • Been a great start to the year for me. Got to my target £500 half way through the month and also received a nice £250 switch bonus from clydesdale to hit £750 for January.
  • Hi no52 reporting in have got 634.31 stashed away this month so feeling pleased, as I doubt I'll do as well in Feb with both car and bike repairs to be paid for.

    Hope you and the little ones are okay, thanks for running this thread when you are so busy.

  • No. 112 and I've got £240.53 to declare here. Would have been a lot better if I hadn't had to use most of my money to pay for Christmas... Bad planning to end 2017! I'm hoping next month will be a big improvement!

    I did declare already but it was so long ago I think it got missed number 45 £398.24 for January which is a good start for me, I know I have interest coming in the next few months that will give me good boosts.

  • hi everyone

    No. 118 declaring £2600 for January.

    Good start, but I know I wont be able to save as much in the next few months as I've got a lot of things coming up to pay for (holiday, birthdays and doing house up). Will try my hardest though to put away as much as I can.

    Hope everyone had a good January x
