Hi. #70 here. Just sent through form update with a £5,538 total for March. 

Eventually got round to selling the second car as it hasn’t really been used over this past year and I don’t anticipate having to commute as much once the offices have re-opened. While it didn’t get much from the sale price (15yo diesel estate/200k miles) I look forward to realising the saving throughout the year as won’t have to fork out for insurance, parking, maintenance, tax etc. Thanks,

Well I got my March windfall - I won £1k on the Premium Bonds! Biggest win ever! But not sure I should count it since I didn't include my £25 last month... good dilemma to have. It has been automatically reinvested in PBs.

Well done Viking! I got £25 which I will add to the March total at the end of the month 😂

Hi all,
#23 reporting £1,463 for February!

#80 reporting £850 for March. All of my standing orders went out yesterday and I have a healthy amount set aside for March. My pension took a bit of a hit but on the plus side, my sinking funds are looking healthy!

My first ever S&S ISA is down by ~2% but that’s fine! I have only had it open a month and I am in it for the long haul! The plan is to check it at the start of each month and not to look at it any other times.

Hope you are all keeping safe and well!

March breakdown:

• Holidays: £250
• HTB ISA: £200
• Club Lloyds: £400
• Total: £850

Running total for 2021: £2,600/£11,000

Very much feeling this at the moment. Sadly my best friend died this week. We were swapping messages the previous evening, the next morning he had a massive heart attack. He was 47.

Still trying to process what's happened, but it does make me wonder about my priorities.

Sorry for you loss @Lomcevak, that must have been such a shock.

£1,250 for me in February... a bit less than I was hoping for, but I had to take my kitty to the vet (he’s ok, just the old ‘snip and chip”).

Must try harder!

#77 reporting a respectable £1501.53 for February with sheet updated. Well ahead of target, but having some work done on the roof later this month and some other stuff being done over the next few months, so expecting to be back close to zero in the next couple of months.

You know that feeling of being so close to actually have saved something this month instead of having to dip into savings to cover monthly bills.

.......Only 9 days to go to being able to say this..!! It will only be small amount but cannot WAIT!
