    #48 - £1150 for Feb please

    So far, all my regular savers have been topped up. Not counting anything in EA right now as I transfer salary straight into EA to be transferred out. Will see how I go if I have extra to top up savings.

    Bit of a bumper start for me this year for a few reasons, hopefully will have more to add to February with a minimum £200 further as those automated savings haven't come out yet.

    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

    WOW 55k AWESOME job everyone:-)

    Hi #56 MrsCautious £2005 for February. 

    This is monthly payments into several regular savers including £150 into the newish YBS Christmas saver and my monthly pension contribution. 

    I will add any more saved by the end of the month. Good luck to all and thank you @enthusiasticsaver for all your hard work in keeping this going.
