    Thanks for adding me on to the spreadsheet SF!

    #153 declaring £2,322.40 for January. I have updated the form.

    A good start for the year I think; keeping a close eye on credit card expenses and keeping it on the frugal side. Not easy I must say but having a budget to refer to always and an amazing forum like this one keeps me very motivated indeed! Hoping to keep it consistent over the course of the year.

      Hi, I know I'm late, but could you add me to this please? I would like to set a target of £8K. Thanks.
    • 135 reporting a total saving for January of £245.86 - It is actually higher than I thought it would be as January is always a very long month.

      Looking forward to making a real dent in my target next month.
      CC: £3663.75 - Jan 19 :eek:

      I’ve done the form (I believe) so hopefully it shows on there!! #77 pleased to report £779.35 for January!!
      12K in 2019 Challenge #77 = £779.35 / £6,000 = 12.9%
    • Well, here I am (#21) declaring a fantastic -£174.26 :rotfl::rotfl:

      In all fairness, we have had a few unexpected expenses which has hampered the savings, but at least we had some savings to fall back on! Thats the plan anyway!
    • #11 declaring £1456.96 for Jan, a decent start considering we decided to purchase a new front door which cost far more than I expected.
    • Hey hey!
      Declaring £560 for January, form sent in.
      A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it

    • Hello, first time in joining a savings thread. Can you please put me down for an ambitious 24k, if I can get near that I will be chuffed to bits. Good luck to everyone on your savings journey
    • How easy is that 'Easy Update Form'. Just used it. Looked on the list a minute later to see if I'm listed on it and my updated totals were there - how efficient is that. Anyway, enough blab from me - £500 saved #155.
