    #22 declaring £3,000 for January 2025  :)

    Not a bad start to the year and next month will be better with a sizeable ISA maturing.

    PS I can't seem to be able to add a signature:
    You don't have permission to use a signature.
    I think you need to have a certain amount of posts, maybe 10 or 15, then you'll be able to add one 👍

    Good morning and thank you for this discussion! 

    Number #46 adding £418 to previous total.

    this is income received at the end of the month moved straight to an instant access savings account as well as a bit of moving £4 to a savings account from my current account to ‘tidy it up’

    Wishing everyone the warmest of wishes for February saving.

    @SuperLooperSaver this is where you should have been, not in 2024.

    You are number 28 (worth adding to your signature) and worth bookmarking the thread by clicking the little pennant (top right of the page) so it if full. Then via quick links and bookmarked threads you can always find it.

    I have added your January to the spreadsheet which I think @enthusiasticsaver will probably share the link to, this weekend.

    @RunsFromRobots, I'm not convinced it is what @linz suggests as I can see it suggests you have a 1k armchair suggesting posts over 1000 times. I can see you have set a signature with your challenger number (now) so either it is resolved (usual reason is that your device knew best and logged you out) or you were trying to set what you already had

    @Dizzycap that is different to what we have in the spreadsheet (£5423.18 in January, plus the £1000 for Feb) - I'm off to check if we missed the difference (£70.74) - I know you can't see the spreadsheet until we share it, but when you can, please check
