    Well March didn't go so well. Lots of expensive bills all at once meant limited savings. Total for March £216.95 total so far £1045.77 so I'll have a bit of catching up to do. April should be easy even with a short break away after Easter. Aiming for £600 for April.

    Another here reporting a loss. Balance on new air source heat pump gives a figure of -£3550:(:(

    Hopefully I'll manage a positive next month... I did say my target was ambitious!

    Declaring 1.5k since Jan! Feb was a dodgy month for me, I hope to pick my savings in March (end of month pay). Not sure what my challenger number is??
