    #32 here, recording £2,400 for March. I’m postponing my MFW OP for March & April to siphon the money into my 2026/27 cash isa to get cashback and therefore, overall a good rate. I’ll be back regular updating in April as I adjust spending to new bills and work out what else I can add.


    Thank you @enthusiasticsaver and @Suffolk_lass for managing.

    #17 declaring £1,230 for April please

    As usual, this is all regular savers plus anything additional the budget allows for at the start of the month.

    Lowest month to date, it was due to be £750 more but a bill came in that I'd otherwise have taken out of savings so decided to take it out of cash flow instead, feels more honest that way! Hopefully back mid-month with a little additional income, I will break the £10k barrier this month and the 50% marker for my year.

    Debt Free I FFEF I Building Savings I 2026 Plan:
    1. 25/26 Pension £3,100/£3,100
    2. Regular Savings £3,690/£6,900
    3. Slush Fund £5,550/£10,000

    Save £12k in 2026 - #17 - £12,340/£20,000 (62%)
