I've managed to lose access to my old account so I'm switching to this one

Paying myself first this month, so savings contributions for March are as follows (I've updated the easy update form):

DD JISA - £100
DS JISA - £100
Sharesave Scheme - £220
Sharematch Scheme - £30
Personal ISA - £110

March total - £568
2020 total - £1,727

Worst month of 2020 so far but still plenty of time to catch up on my target

Don't forget to let Slowlyfading know so your records are maintained on the great sprreadsheet - who were you in your old account?

Links are on the very first post I can't post the links as not got enough posts

it’s the checked it from the link and it’s the same so maybe it’s just not updated yet. I sent off the form on the last day of February with my figures so I’ll just wait 😊

Slowly fading posted that the spreadsheet was updated on the 27th Feb, so like me, you missed that one. There will be lots of us not there yet

#22 reporting a nice £1849.62 for February and update form submitted. My wife has decided that she won't go through with the expensive dental implants that were planned after a horrendous experience having the 2 teeth extracted during which the dentist accidentally damaged nerves in her face and then didn't seem to care too much. So I might raise my target later, but that depends whether I get made redundant or not in the next couple of months and end up taking my pension. It's all happening here!

I hope the move to redundancy and taking your pension is something to look forward to, rather than regret. I am really enjoying this not-working malarkey and can highly recommend it

Haha. Yes, it is. I have actually volunteered, but I am expecting to be turned down as I have asked for an unreduced pension. I was supposed to hear by now, but they have pushed everything back 2 weeks.
