    £926.83 saved in March.

    I took out a credit card with a promotional 30 month 0% interest in January, and I've been thinking of how to include this within my overall savings. I have decided to have a new column for the credit card and update a negative value each month. For January and February's figures were a bit inflated as I had not been factoring in this 'free' money I was borrowing. Would be interested to hear if/how anyone else factors in debts such as this into the savings spreadsheet?

    This month is also going to be overstated (and look like it doesnt all add-up), whereas next month will be back to normal!

    TSB RS - £250
    HTB ISA - £200
    P2P - £1,047.23

    £545.86 saved for April.

    Despite my S&S ISA falling -5% in total over February and March, it bounced back nicely by 4.55% in April! Yay! Long-term performance remains strong at approx 11.7% annualised since 31/12/2014.

    £894.37 saved for March - form submitted

    total so far - a measley £63.25....

    however on the bright side my totals are looking good for April so I will finally start making some progress

    Changing my update for April - I miscalculated my total and I've decided to add in my LISA bonus as I'm including interest from all my other accounts anyway - new total for April is £2887.91. Overall total this year is £2951.16

    Just updated the spreadsheet for April and May, £500 for each month. Where did the time go to??

    I have a boiler to pay for in September so going to be knuckling down really hard and trying to save another £500 a month between now and then to go towards it. I'm keeping that off the spreadsheet though, as this is saving to be spent rather than for retirement.

    #20 reporting £1560 for April. Well on track so far for the year so just hoping I can keep it up.


    May will have plenty of expensive socialising (not completely by choice) so will be a bit more of a struggle!
