Hi,
I'm number 114.
In January I saved 1068.99: I bought a new phone and I needed to pay for Road tax.
In February I could only manage to save 951.74 due to booking a summer holiday.
Haver a nice day.

I am going to declare my March savings now, as I won't save any more this month. £700.

I got a bonus this month but paid for some holidays/mini breaks and got some bits for our new house. My husband has also agreed to match whatever I put into the savings account each month, which is huge incentive for me!

I will update the form now.

Nothing for me this month #76 As we brought a house instead
Will be back on the band wagon next month as i have to up the emergency fund to allow for owing a gas combi but this months savings have to go on white goods as currently have built in.

Well a disastrous month here. Hv saved nothing tbh my out goings have been very high. Managed to pay for a couple of holidays later in the year without using my savings which is a bonus for me lol. I haven't given up but have drawn a line under March's savings and looking onwards and upwards to April.

£800 in March for me, next month will be considerably less with car insurance needing to be paid.

Hi All,
I am new to the site and forum. Would it be possible for me to join in. Also what is the 1p a day challenge apologies if this is a stupid question. I have recently semi retired and have just opened regular saver with first direct 300 per month i would appreciate any advise on how to cut back and save money thank you.

I saved £1500 this month, but my stocks & shares ISA fell the same amount, so a net zero unfortunately

Still, I've paid for a future weekend away and hopefully the shares will edge up again. They are long term savings rather than short or medium, so I am not in a hurry for the dosh.
