    A mix of PB wins, selling some stuff and my usual Tilly tidying brought a savings total of £1174.05 for me for February. Superficially impressive but with house insurance in March it won't be so good!

    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, 999

    Jeez, hope everyone is OK now. Wishing you all the best. x

    Hope all ok @Suffolk_lass

    I am updating for March #1  £500

    Due to tax issues for my DH our income has suddenly become erratic (perils of being retired on several different income streams) so we are unlikely to be able to increase our monthly savings until the tax situation is sorted.

    Nothing the removal of the gallbladder won't sort but it was very scary for about 4 days. We will certainly be spending less on groceries as the forerunner to that is low/no fat (to control it), plus diet and losing weight, so no Easter chocolate, or other temptations for us.

    Oh, I am sorry you are going through that. Thank goodness there are so many low fat foods made these days to make it easier to eat something.

    Sorry to hear that @suffolk_lass but hope you're over the worst now.
