Hi, I hope everybody is keeping safe and well. #22 reporting in £3774.77 for April and form updated. My amount was boosted by me taking about £2K out of my MB and casino profits. MB and casinos have fallen off a cliff, so not much point keeping a load of money sitting doing nothing. I also got some interest from a 5% Regular Saver that matured and made some more from referrals. Lockdown has also meant I'm spending very little money on entertainment and nothing on petrol. I count myself lucky that I'm still getting my full salary. My heart goes out to all those who are ill or furloughed, or face the prospect of unemployment.4

I hope you are all well. No 40 reporting £1408.42 for April (form submitted). I've saved about £200 more each month over the last 2 months compared to the same months last year, probably due to lockdown. April is always my highest savings month, because of annual account interest.
I'm glad this thread is still going strong, as I enjoy reading everyone's posts. Thanks all, and to SF.2 -
