  • #5 now up to £90

    Very pleased to be at my February target, although I had hoped to overpay, there has been a lot of spending on other things, so maybe later in the year I can pay extra in.

    #2 signing in with £221/£365 at the end of February.  
    £32 was from Prolific surveys (another good month) and £30 from gym membership savings.  There will be another month of gym 'savings' in March but can't wait to get back in the swimming pool on 12 April!

    I think end of Feb should be £90 (31+31+28).  £75 is still good going - after all it's 5/6 of the target.
