#17 reporting in for February. Managed to save only £520 for the month. It has been an expensive month as the car had to be serviced and also had some new glasses. Still on my rolling weekly contract and also expecting some dividends in March, so that should be a better month.
Saving goal for 2025: £17,561/£30,000 (58%)
Saving goal for 2024: £27k - achieved3 -
I meant to say, I did the form for Feb - not bad thanks to an extra little push to Premium Bonds (instead of council tax) and the interest being added to my regular saver (it will be used to pay for the house being painted and the humungous house insurance bill which is over £1400 this year.

No. 76 reporting with £1106.06 saved for February. Although it was an expensive month (quarterly bills, some birthdays) I got some overtime back-pay, which was a nice and welcome surprise and helped boost my total.

Many thanks

#21 Reporting £1,503.68 for February. Finished my freelance job this month so once I receive the last payment for that my savings rate will drop although I’ve nearly paid off my student loan so that will then allow me to boost it a bit again but hope to find alternative revenue streams going forward to replace it.3

So I've reported £1605.25 for February! Its been a brilliant month for me, although somewhat unexpected! Had a few things sell quite well on Ebay so it bumped up the total a nice bit. Going to try and put a few more things on and see how we get on next month. Going to catch up on this thread later - so I hope everyone has had a good month too.7
