Don't worry, I haven't forgotten. I always update after the month is finished as I hope to squirrel extras from unspent areas.

Thank you. It's helpful to know you are there. A quick dip into the profiles of some others showed 1 post (newbie), and have not been back since that date, which is not such a good sign

TinaBallerina #35 reporting 371.40 for February, chucking everything I can towards my savings this month as I think times are about to get a lot tighter with the council tax rises reported for my council, and all the increases in my other bills hitting at the end of March.

Just a few days of February left and thanks to @Suffolk_lass for the nudge for those who signed up but have not yet posted an update.  Updating 0 is ok by the way.  I have had to pay out a small fortune in holidays and car expenses over the last month so am sticking at £500. Hopefully after April the numbers will go up.

Agreed @TinaBallerina, I am going to take some time to update my annual budget tonight to reflect known increases due in April. So far broadband, 2 mobile phone contracts (me and DH), council tax, Utilities and I think TV Licence as well (need to double check this one) and my mandatory professional membership is up by £25 annually as well.  I need to do a draft budget for April reflecting the changes as well.

Thank you @Suffolk_lass

Not off to a good start for me £0 for Jan and Feb (have given the go ahead for some garden renovations and spends have been allocated for this). March should be better for me 🤞

No problem @CreditCardJunkie - by the way, your signature says you are #25 but you are #6 this year. Here's the link

# 34. Declaring £1,000 for February.  Running 2025 Total £6493.92

I've saved more but am putting the money toward my other 3 saving challenges

If I get any extras, I will add them to this challenge during the month, as and when they may arrive.

@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

Opps, sorry it was a typo on the forum with fat fingers, but it's correct in my sig.

Total should be: £6423.18

Sorry about that:-)

#59 KrsyW - £1,623.62 for February

Also it looks like my name has a typo on the spreadsheet, should be a W at the end.
