    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.

    Sorry about your car but good you have some money to put towards a new one.

    Thanks @enthusiasticsaver, you are so right.  I few years ago I would have been really struggling with no money to put towards a new car at all.  Having savings makes all the difference and a stressfull situation less stressful.

    @Cassingtonbear, please put your challenge number (#13) in your signature or your post. It makes it much quicker for me updating. I'm always disappointed how many times I scan up and down before I see the name, and yes, I know... not much in the overall scheme of things and I could filter and search, but we do ask you to post your number  :)

    So not directly relates to saving......rather the stage before saving. Making progress and raring to go! Should be able to start putting some numbers up in March at the latest.  That ISA better watch it's !!!!!!-ets 😜
  • 13. Please add a further £300 to my February savings. Making a good start to the year.

    This last week we have become aware of a couple of new housing developments with everything that we would like in an area which would cut our daily commute roughly in half. So saving as much as possible has taken on extra urgency for me!
