TallGirl

Tallgirl for April #49

Premium Bonds £100
Annual interest MB 358
S&S ISA £10
Regular Saver £300
Cash ISA £511
Total £1279

Bigger than normal due to annual interest being paid out but that will be monthly now ongoing. I am however about to cash it all in so I can buy a house in Denmark as I am moving back after 31 years. Scary but also very excited. Easier to buy before I get the cash for this house but eventually I will be putting it all back into savings.

#47 declaring £944.48 for April.

Not quite at my monthly target but still a little bit ahead for the year.

May will probably be done as well

Some more to come via Roundups and my Loughborough RS which is funded later in the month.

@ penny_less - I'm so sorry to hear about your vet costs. I really hope things improve for your animal & finances soon, as you've been doing so well. There's always some unexpected spanner in the works at some point with animals

Well done everyone for the great saving efforts. It's an inspiration to us all

I just updated the conditional formatting in the spreadsheet for the column that colour indicates our progress so far -

• Greater than 0.4167 (or 41.67%) is dark green.
• Light green is between 0.33 and 0.4167 (because some post their monthly updates at the start of the following month (me, eg!) and some put their savings away at the start (enthusiasticsaver, eg!)
• Amber is above zero but under the 0.33 (under a third of the year in other words). So if this is you, you are just behind the four month (end of April) stage, averaged over the year
• Red is zero or less

Thanks for the conditional formatting @Suffolk_lass and yes I do tend to announce at the beginning of the month as I put money away as soon as we get paid so I am not tempted to spend it.  Sometimes I put more in nearer the end but not this month as we have finally booked our river cruise for next May on the Danube with a Vienna extension and a week in Gran Canaria this November to get away from our winter so we had to pay the deposits yesterday. I will be upping the savings from June but some of this is spoken for. 

 Everyone seems to be doing pretty well.
