You've got me down for £0 for January - I'll say the same for February although in reality it'll probably be minus numbers again. I'll see how the next few weeks ago but may drop out for 2025, don't want to drag the stats downSave £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £4863.32 out of £6000 after May (81.05%)

So not directly relates to saving......rather the stage before saving. Making progress and raring to go! Should be able to start putting some numbers up in March at the latest. That ISA better watch it's !!!!!!-ets 😜Save £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £4863.32 out of £6000 after May (81.05%)

Some good saving going on so far. Well done all and hope you all have the same sunshine I have down here in the South West.
I have put £1000 in our joint savings this morning as our pensions are now mostly paid out. There might be more nearer the end of the month but sometimes I just stick it in other savings pots or leave it in current account to carry forward.
So #1 £1000 for May making my total £5000 so far.
Spreadsheet updated and thanks to @Suffolk_lass for the support.

#16 A much better month for me this time with £1,939.57. Early signs point to the next month being middling, and the car will need ~£800 of work soon. I can put that off for a couple of months though.
