#94 Saved another £200 today.
Now £1640/£9000.
Just a quick question as new to this challenge. Do you just update your savings total once per month or can you update it when you save?
Can’t believe the amount some people can save. Wish I had that to save. Well done everyone.3 -

Queen_of_the_Hive said: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.Initial mortgage bal £487.5k, current £258k, target £243,750(halfway!)
Mortgage start date first week of July 2019,
Mortgage term 23yrs(end of June 2042🙇🏽♀️),Target is to pay it off in 10years(by 2030🥳).MFW#10 (2022/23 mfw#34)(2021 mfw#47)(2020 mfw#136)

#16 declaring £1720.57 for March. Said last month how we were hoping to ramp it up between now and the end of June, so really happy to achieve this figure. We don't think we will reach this high again this year but intend to try our very best to continue ramping it up until June.5
