I've just added another £22 to my savings pot from a FB sale and it was things I had listed ages ago and just kept renewing so it was nice to sell them to stop them cluttering up the place and as a bonus they add another % to my total

My total now stands at £837/£1500 which is 55.8%

Having checked my Paypal account I have just managed to add a further £190 to my savings pot which now takes my total up to £1027/£1500 which is 68.46% 

wahoo I'm over £1000 towards my target - I am so happy that I'm making progress again

Another £5 added to my savings pot today from a reward card bonus for a local shop I didn't even know I had.
Only a small amount but still a fiver closer to my target so I'm happy

My total now stands at £1032/£1500 which is 68.8%

Another £105 added to my savings pot today made up of a £5 FB marketplace sale for a board game we never play anymore and £100 from not spending any money on craft supplies. 

M total now stands at £1137/£1500 which is £75.8% - I'm officially over three quarters of the way to meeting my second target

Me again with a teeny tiny £3 to add to my pot from using coupons on my food shopping today.
Not much but at least it is something I suppose  

My total now stands at £1140/£1500 which is exactly 76% towards my total

Guess who?

I'm so proud of myself as I have just transferred my Etsy earnings for October into my account (the old me would have spent them) so I have just met my 2nd target of £1500  
Since joining this challenge in June I have added a whopping £3505 to my savings account - I am so happy but I'm not stopping there.

I'm going to set a new target of £1650 (so my NEW 1% is £16.50).

Like before my Etsy earnings took me over my target so I'm going to declare the extra in this total so I'm off and running and my NEW total is £373/£1650 which equates to 22.6%

I'm hoping to make my new target by the end of March which might be optimistic but I am going to try  

How is everyone else getting on?

I'm waiting to see how much I spend at the invert show this weekend before looking at my finances lol

Me again - just popping in to declare a further £7 added to the savings pot today from using the blue light discount card

So my total is now £380/£1650 which is 23.03%.

It may not be much progress but it has taken me another % closer to my third target
