    Thanks for all the message and PM's I must say I have felt loved in a period when I felt nobody could..

    Trying to keep busy, I have rejoined SW after 4 years away, I have resigned up to the pool and I will get into a routine after my operation next weekend.

    Lets get myself moving again and maybe I will feel better for it.

    I only have £231 to start with for January, but did have to pay my flat's service charge this month which was a good chunk of cash .

    Not quite as much as I hoped but higher than January and it should keep going up so that I am on target.

    Hi all,

    I have completed an update form requesting to join this marvellous thread. I would like to save up and add to my house deposit - hoping to buy just before Christmas or beginning of 2019. My target is £8000 for this year including savings to my HTB ISA. January saved £457.58. February and March are going to be tough as I am due to move, change jobs and get my car's timing belt replaced. However, the new job means a £300 - £500 monthly increase to my current pay.

    Looking forward to track our progress. Good luck everyone. We can do this! :)
