Save £12k in 2026 challenge (or any other amount to challenge yourself!)

Suffolk_lass

I have updated with a moderately huge (for us) total this month (£2005.46) - it includes Mr Sl's tax refund (£546) and also the refund (£620) from the people that were going to blast off the rust under our truck (it was terminal, so truck has gone) - as we won't be without a truck for long, I have not included the money we got for the old one (just over £2.8k) as it will be going out shortly, along with more.

I will be raiding the EF savings account, but it is there for this sort of thing. I won't deduct the new truck money - well it makes sense in my head!

I have a lot of expenses over the next couple of months which is making it a nightmare to try and budget how much i'll be able to save. I'll eventually get reimbursed for them so will hopefully be back on track by the end of May!

#30 Reporting £2666.85 for February.

Another month way better than I could ever have expected, much helped by being back in full time work for the whole month, something I haven't had since October last year. And the continued mass sort out of unneeded belongings. Highly unlikely to have anymore months like this now, but it's been nice whilst it's lasted.

#10 declaring £459.33 for February.

As expected mush less than January but still above for the 2 months in total.

Thank you to Enthusiastic Saver & Suffolk Lass for running this challenge.

Some great updates here and I have updated the spreadsheet.

I have put £500 away in regular savers as usual but won't put any additional amounts in yet due to holidays expenditure over March and April.
