  • Covered Jan and Feb's amounts so far, and made 1p in interest for January ;)

  • #29 £24 paid in for Feb.

    it was only after I transferred the money I realised it should have been £13 something for Feb. I won't be saving in December so will consider the overpayment as covering some of the December amount.
  • Hi everyone, I hope you had a good January.

    #2 with my January update. I saved £33.02. A much better start than my 2023 challenge!

    Thanks, ES!
