No 57 declaring £1750 for March. 

This is less than I'd like but I had 2 strike days knocked off my wage and I also had to set aside money for holidays. We have slightly overdone it with holidays the past 2 years but we've used them to celebrate my 50th last year and OHs 50th this year.  Next year we will reduce the holiday budget to maximise savings.  The plan is that 2024 and 2025 we will throw everything we can at early retirement savings and I am going back to working full time later this year as part of that plan.

#7 declaring £4,907.51 for February.

Bonus was paid this month which was the main contributing factor, also recently got engaged with my girlfriend so now have a wedding to plan and budget for. Finally, also landed a new job which means (hopefully) more interesting work, decent pay rise and more opportunities in general!

Deployed some new money to my S&S ISA early in March, but need to keep a relatively high cash balance to account for future expenses mentioned above (plus renovations on the horizon).

Happy saving all!

Wedding costs are starting to take a dent in the savings and have a honeymoon to sort as well! S&S ISA contributions will almost certainly be zero for the foreseeable future, at least the pension conts will keep ticking along in the background.

#17 reporting in for March (form submitted), managed to put aside £2,158 for the month.

Just got a 16 month interest free balance transfer card so a number expenses will be hitting my repairs & replacements pot over that period as I have had to replace my sofa, the garden shed and a whole fence line, and also bought some batteries for my solar panels.

Below target with savings of £750 this month. Had a seriously seriously spendy month though so really happy with that!

No. 5 reporting £837.00 for April. 

£107.00 interest reinvested into ISA 
£700.00 into Premium Bonds
£30.00 into my triple access saver. 

Happy with this modest amount. As we had a week away in the Lake District at the beginning of the month. 🛤️🚂😀

Declaring £832.07 for this month. Includes a bit of adjustment on last month. Considerably less than I was aiming for, however, I've paid some fees for moving investments, plus had to have drains cleared after I'd already spent the house fund on new fences and gutters. Then my fridge freezer packed in 

Still on target, just about. Fingers crossed for a less spendy summer!
