  • #44 declaring £473 for February. A couple of unexpected bills this month but no council tax was a bonus! 
    Next month should see me get a backdated pay bonus which means hopefully more for savings! 
  • I only managed £200 this month. We started a large DIY project and spent a significant amount in IKEA.

    #12 reporting £2,075 for February. Delighted with this 😀
  • Hello, number 70 here with an update.

    As I mentioned in my first post, my priority for January-July is to pay off all my debt, from August onwards I am aiming to save £1,000-£1,500 per month.

    I am still putting a small amount of money towards savings where I can at the end of the month for now- £245.13 saved so far this year.

    Total: £245.13 / £7,000 = 3.47%
