Declaring 361.38 for January , form submitted. It's not quite as much as I was hoping for but a couple of unexpected bills arrived.
I managed to save a little on my grocery budget as well as clothing and petrol but the two unexpected bills scuppered what I was hoping for - some good - some bad. Onward into February....0 -
Hi, £200 saved this month. Although we wont be able to save as much until June when the credit cards are played off, we have just had a £500 vet bill so are topping up the 'vet budget' rather than save it. Hopefully all good now and we'll have a better February.0

I have submitted a form for January. It is spectacularly unimpressive, but there is saving happening where I can't see it. I have 3 days of overtime waiting to be paid, and I am still on BR tax code in my new job, so have at least £200 hidden in HMRC this month (As well as the same from October, November and December) that I won't count until I get it back. I am also aiming to have my spare room let by the end of February, so that will start to accelerate matters.
Happy savings for February everyone!Save £12k in 2025 #33 £2531.77/£5000 (If this carries on I might have to up my target!)

Hi
#17
I have submitted the form for January to report £1000. I am very happy with this figure which has been bumped up by some overtime in December. I'm hoping for a good result in Feb when I don't pay Council Tax or water rates
