Sorry me again. I'm determined to try and add a little into my OP savings pot each day in March so I'll be here a lot  

£11.70 added today thanks to a NSD yesterday and a refund from Royal Mail for a lost parcel.

This brings my total to £5524.96/£81700 = 6.76% 

I'm creeping up slowly but progress is progress

Good morning. Me again, It's Etsy payday but while I wait for that to hit my account I have just popped in to declare a further £608.00 made up of subscription cuts, regular savings and the money we used to pay on our mortgage (which we cleared last year). 

This make my total £6132.96/£81700 = 7.5% 

Wahoo - I'm over the 7% mark now. It's slow progress but progress is progress no matter how small it is  

I'll be back later once my Etsy earnings have been paid

I've just added a further £266.32 into my OP savings account made up of £256.32 from my Etsy earnings from February and £10 from two NSD's (yesterday and today). 

This brings my total to £6399.28/£81700 = 7.83%

Only another £136.72 to find to reach 8%

Small amount of £14.60 added into savings today from a cheque for a lost parcel from Royal Mail.

My total now stands at £6413.88/£81700 = 7.85% 

I'm edging closer to reaching 8%

That's fantastic news and what a boost to your total.
I bet you are very happy about that

I've finally managed to add a bit more into the OP savings account made up of £1.76 from craftsuprint earnings for Feb and £75.97 from facebook orders in my small business.

My total is now £6491.61/£81700 = 7.94%

It's very slow progress but I'm creeping up slowly

I'm determined to add a little bit into the OP savings pot each day even if it is only pennies as I feel like we are not making progress fast enough.

Today it is the grand total of £2.83 from Top Cashback. A small amount (and one I actually had to fight for as they had put me on a  premium account costing £5 and did not give me the option for the free account) so although tiny and it will not make any difference to my percentage total, I am still grateful that I have managed to add it into the pot.

My total now stands at £6494.47/£81700 = 7.94%

Me again. My first wages from my little part time job (£145.95) have been paid today so I've added them straight into the OP savings account. 

This has bought my total to £6640.42/£81700 = 8.12% 

I've finally hit the 8% mark. 
Fingers crossed I get to 9% quicker

Good morning. 
Wow it's been over a week since I have managed to add any money into the OP savings pot - I really must try harder!!! 
Today £14.60 has been added thanks to a cheque clearing from Royal Mail for a lost parcel.

This brings my total to £6655.02/£81700 = 8.14%

Small progress but I'm just happy to have made any progress at the moment - its proving a hard slog
