    I'm saving my underspend on groceries for this challenge. Unfortunately I can't add anything to the pot for Feb as I spent slightly more than my allowance. I'll see what March brings.

    Thank you ES - #17 reporting in 

    I am working down my pre-picked list of random numbers and Feb's total is £65.34 to my Bonus saver  (am already topping up reg savers so this will have to do).  This takes my challenge total for 2023 up to £119.73

    Will just go and catch up on y'all !! 

    I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
    Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
    Smiling and waving and looking so fine
  • #33 reporting for Feb £66.68

    Started off high again then swapped to some low amounts as I have also given myself a target to reduce the CC balance £300 a month for 4 months (2 done). Its 0% until October so not too much of an issue but jumped up when I had car troubles and it needs to come back down again but might be tricky.
    I'm looking forward to another colour on my spreadsheet.

    #63 first of the month again and have deposited the £2 a day,
    and with the interest my first march total is £62.44.
    making £258.69.(35%) in the bank.

    may have to cut down next month with a few bills coming in but will see how it goes, have a couple of regular savings due in october so the interest should keep this on track.

    Thanks for running the challenge #enthusiastic saver.

    Good morning to everyone on this first day of March and updates done.  

    As it is money shuffle day for me I am adding my own update 

    #1 reporting £28 for March making the total up to £100.  

    I have ticked off all the March days plus 3.65 and 1.10 to make it up to a round £28. I have also broken the first £100 barrier. I have also coloured my own chart after copying coconurtalers idea.
