  • @longhill I am so sorry for your loss.  Totally understandable that you need to drop out. Take care of yourself.

    £386.63 for the savings, a little less than I thought I was going to be able to achieve but my works have called us back into the office now, so transport costs were an unexpected expense for the month and I forgot that train fares had risen as well. 

    However only 2 months left on an outstanding loan and then that expense is finally finished and then the second half of the year will be where I can make good headway on my target as will be able to earn bonus again.

    Sorry to hear you're unwell, Westie, I hope you're feeling better now.

    And sorry for your loss, longhill, I hope we'll see you next year when you're feeling more in control of what's going on.

    £1127.98 for March, an okay month. Going forward hopefully things  even out as council tax/tax code and some other things have been a bit all over the place.

    #17 reporting in for March. Thankfully still on my rolling weekly contract so managed to contribute £1,581 to my savings pot - form completed. I'm planning to spend some money on the house and the car but most of that will come from realising some of the gains I have made on my S&S (I do not include my S&S gains in my savings pot figures until realised).
    Happy Easter everyone.
