    Just got married, so now I can resume the saving. Generous friends and family gifts meant we paid for our honeymoon from that with money left spare. So April payment is £1155.37.

    Congratulations and that has kicked off your savings number nicely.  Hope your honeymoon was somewhere warmer than here.
