    Pay day today for me so I have finalised the budget and put £3150 to savings for February. This will go into a last wee bit into OHs Stocks and shares ISA and the rest into my Cash ISA.

    An unsustainable £1305.20 in February. As I am no longer working, I fully expect my totals to plummet from here on in.

    Scratching my head and wondering how you managed to do all of that in less than £1k :) I paid for our summer break last month and the flights alone were a tad over £1400 (for a family of 4). Is there a trick I am missing?

    We're staying in the UK this year and the family are not invited, just the two of us. Just the spending money to sort now.
    Spend less now, work less later.
  • #36 reporting in with £1001.82. Would be more but work expenses are due to hit my bank tomorrow, so will give March a boost.

  • Hi Everyone, and welcome to all new joiners, and some returning savers too!
    2 months down, and we're still paying off a few bills from xmas. Added to that were paint and other decorating bits as OH has had me re-painting the conservatory. Plus airport parking and accommodation for our fortnight in the Canaries - only a week away, can't wait!

    So, no.002 reporting £1710.92 for February.
    Happy saving everyone

    I'm in with £16,428.95 for February - a good month, to say the least!
  • #127 Just updated my signature with February savings of £750. Really pleased with this month’s amount.

    Thanks in advance for updating.

    Haven't had time to post this month, but popping in to say I saved £300 (have sent my update via the link).


    A lot lower than last month, but it's just one of those expensive months! Next month will probably be lower too due to booking holidays... but will give it my best shot :)
  • Just submitted my update form for February (I'm #99), and have saved £3100 this month to make a total for the year of £6290 so far. My mortgage OPs have not started yet, so I forsee these savings dwindling down and the mortgage OPs picking up in their place.
