    #1. £800 February

    I have transferred £150 into my YBS Christmas Saver, £200 into my Nationwide Regular Saver and £450 into my YBS internet access saver account. So £800 in total so far.

    I have also put £900 into our savings pots but am not counting those amounts as they will be spent.

    £100 into Christmas 2024
    £200 into Cars
    £300 into house as we have ordered new furniture which arrives in April
    £300 into holiday as we emptied that to book a week away over the Easter holidays to meet up with family. 

    Have a good day everyone.

    #63 A total of £200 so far for February.  
    I'm not including any monies going out into all the Regular Savers or other ongoing savings accounts, pots or any generated interest or dividens from the savings I already have, as I want to see if I can save even more :D
    I will be including any work related monetry bonuses or unexpected windfalls I might receive ;)

    #19 £1145 for February

    Money shuffle now complete - all payments have been made or are about to be made into regular saver pots, the balance of our joint account has been swept over to savings, and thanks to an error on my part, there's an extra £50 gone into S&S ISA as well this month.

    I'm not counting interest, or my additional savings into pots for annual spends / holidays, especially as the latter are dipped into regularly.

    Great job on the £55k+ for January everyone, and thanks for the thread @enthusiasticsaver
