    #127 Just updated my signature with February savings of £750. Really pleased with this month’s amount.

    Thanks in advance for updating.

    Not sure if you saw this one. I did fill in the form as well with my February totals.

    Many thanks.

    Hey, finally updated for february. I had a few weeks of feeling unwell and we weren't very frugal over this period. Think lots of takeaways and oven meals. Back on it now though. Have listed some items to sell on ebay so fingers crossed that will give us a boost :) Hope everyone else has managed to stay more motivated than we have.

    No progress to report, but I have found a way to reduce the number of times I buy sandwiches and other food when I am out of the house, and therefore increase my savings. I am doing an exclusion diet to try to find out what is causing my pain, so I can't eat anything that I can buy outside the house! :rotfl:

    Mid-month update from me...£505.63 so far. Payday just arrived so will do some sums. I think this will be my last bumper month as overtime has dried up.A plus point however is that I forgot about the 2 months ‘free’ for Council Tax so this will be reduced for the rest of the year! I
