    Don't think I'll be able to add to this as need to keep some aside for car tax, service, MoT and breakdown cover in the spring, all of which are due in the same month 😅

    Hello my lovelies, first check in of the year, and I'm determined to hit my target this time! Going to use all of my DIY skills to try to finish fixing up the house myself, instead of paying out silly amounts to useless contractors. Getting the EF topped up too, so that any unexpected events don't derail the savings :neutral:

      Hi All, No 52 reporting £0 for January. 


      My car was hit at the weekend and written off by my insurance company.  So any money that would have gone to savings this month is going towards a new car.  Hopefully have some savngs net month.  Well done everyone on the savings so far.
