    #12 reporting in with savings of £1,525 for March.  Happy with this amount, especially if I can maintain it for the rest of the year with the price hikes.

    #48 with £1500 this month, as expected I will fall behind next month due to big birthday (hence being a little lower this month too), but I expect to recover this later in the year. 

    Well done everyone managing to save over this difficult period. 

    Off to do the form :)

    #67 with £736 for March.

    Anticipating larger electric and heating oil bills later in the year, so have reduced the savings amount. Also having to put away some funds for our holiday this July.

    Will complete the form now. Thank you!

    #002 Reporting £1845.13 for March. A chunk of interest arriving from a Cash ISA maturing, pretty much balanced out by a deposit for a holiday in the Canaries in November. In other news, work have approved my reducing to 3 days per week, from August, so the early retirement plan is starting to come together nicely. 
    Save 12k in 2013-2014-2015-2016-2017-2018-2019-2020-2021-2022 - then early-retired.
  • #57 reporting £1000 for March -I'm aiming to save as much as I can before things get tougher. So well done to everyone!

    Good news geoffers4 on reducing to three days per week, its sounds ideal.
  • #4 reporting £1205.06 for March. Not my best month as my freelance work has dropped so earning less to invest, I also had a lot of car and vet bills. Will probably start claiming the vet bills on my insurance soon. Will have more car work next month and vet bills ongoing now. don’t have the energy to increase freelance earnings again for a bit
