February is finally done, so I can now confidently report my savings for the month as £2,207.31.I had a bumper income month after a rubbish January of changing jobs and doing loads of work that wasn't paid until Feb. My actual total for Feb was higher, but I took off January's overspend. Things are likely to be all over the shop for me for a while longer yet, as HMRC are having one of their "party in a brewery" moments with my tax code.Save £12k in 2025 #33 £2531.77/£5000 (If this carries on I might have to up my target!)

Thank you, but if posting more regularly keeps you focussed on saving, we really don't mind. Between us we are in every day or three to update. Exceptionally I have not this week but that was a domestic emergency, 999Thriftymissus said:#46 ThriftyMissus Minus £1832
I’ve diverted money from savings towards debt. Hoping for a more settled income the coming months. I’m creating extra work on the thread here sorry, by posting earlier in the month, then a minus figure, so will aim to update as a retrospective total at the end of each month.Thank you for helping me focus by running the thread. 💐Save £12k in 2025 #2 I saved £14,660.97 of £6000 or 244.35% of my target.
