    Hello

    #25 garfield33

    Just correcting my Jan/Feb stats:
    Jan: minus £394.18
    Feb: plus £50.18

    Will see how I go for the next couple of months... I might drop out if I continue in the negative for a while, don't want to drag the group stats down ;)

    Thank you for running and maintaining this thread

    I’m back I don’t use this website as much but I am still wanting to take part…. So far I’ve not saved anything. I’m starting a new job this Friday so hopefully this month I’ll be able to save 😁

    #50 t2rry adding £150 for March please, that should bring my March total to £1,925

    That's the first top up I've had mid-month this year, made up of 3 underspends on 'fixed' spends in the budget and a small unplanned income, happy with that, individually none of them looked like much but it always adds up!
