Update form completed £250 saved this month, my last regular saver amount paid, now I just have to wait for the maturity which will give some much needed funds back while we are in this lockdown.

#25 reporting in for March, managed to save £661 this month. Still trying to work out what is happening over the coming months, as it is changing every day. Expenditure is down, but so is income - just trying to see if I still have more of the latter than the former.

#6 reporting in with March savings of £1198.06.
Was on long-term sick from work due to severe migraines for the whole of March so spent less than normal. Back working as of yesterday but working from home so this month should be as good if not better.

Number 85 checking in after 2 months of absence! I've updated my savings for Feb and March and submitted the form.
Like everyone else, I'm not sure how the rest of the year is going to pan out.
Keep safe everyone.
