HI SF and Forumites,
#51 reporting another big fat negative sum of -£3170.80 for February. I became a homeowner again so have legal costs and have spent a chunk of money on carpets and other home improvement spends. On the positive S&S ISA continued to make gains and had my first pay cheque from new job. It wasn't a full month though so was quickly lost in the large spends. I'm expecting my fortunes will start turning around in next couple of months.2025 financial goals & challenges!

I only managed £400 in January (thanks Rishi!). This month will also be a write-off but I am hopeful I can make up some of the shortfall in the spring once everything starts to open up and I can get back to work.SPC #046 2021- £293.26
