£350 for Feb, due to few bills to pay. I am not including pension contributions. Next few months will be a bit low with savings, due to holiday costs. Planning on going to Africa for 3 weeks in May.
Total to date: £1913 (Target £8000)3 -
Just reluctantly saved £633. Cancelled holiday to Spain for end of April. I would still have been considering going, but my wife is totally against travelling abroad at the moment.

I have done it. I have just posted the advert for renting out my spare room. I have been lodger-less since August, and it is time now. Wish me luck in finding a lovely person to live with.

Hi Slowlyfading 😊. I may have caught the wrong month when I submitted my last update but my totals list is wrong. It’s showing me having the same amount saved for both Feb and March. I haven’t submitted my March amount yet - I do it at the end of the month ( start of next month if I’m behind ). I also put on the update that I’m changing my target to 12k which isn’t showing. Would you please be able to change my total and remove my March amount from the totals list. Then things will be ok. Many thanks 😊Save 12K in 2020. Number 133
