My January total is £953.17 (form submitted).

I don't think I'll be able to save quite so much over the next couple of months but after that I should be able to build up more.

So pleased with everyone's savings in Jan!

Only saved £45.91 this month January was a big spend month and to be honest a bit of a break from the intense amount of saving I did in the second half of 2018!

Onwards and upwards - I'm planning for a much better figure to report at the end of February

Some stonking savings being reported this month - well done everyone!

After last month's shock to the finances, we've had a much more straight-forward January with the usual post-xmas bills to pay off. There was also a works night out, which could have been costly but in the end cost a measly £5.80 as it was Happy Hour plus half-price meals for January! So reporting £1878.65 for January - just about on-track after month1.

Well, despite a completely unnecessary and OTT purchase (new MacBook for £4k! :eek: ) I have managed to save £1189.43 this month. Doing pretty good so far.

I had to sell a lot of stuff to offset the purchase, so I won't be making £5k again in a month any time soon.

Declaring January's figure as £3701.08. Could've done better on home food prep; started off well with homemade quiche and ended up with EAT and Pret because of lack of time - oh well.

February is already off to a good start, retrieved a £50 rebate this morning that has gone straight into savings.

Keep up the good work everyone.

Well done to everyone that has saved, it does not matter that you've not reached the intended target, the good news is that you are saving something, whether that's £10 or £500 - you are saving. Be positive and have a mindset that you need to save as much as you can, even if it's a £1 here and there it will total up, it's going to be a long 12 months, well make that 11 now, so there will be some highs and lows. Let's encourage each other to save.

Well done everyone. Keep up the savings!
