    I am going to declare my March savings now, as I won't save any more this month. £700.

    I got a bonus this month but paid for some holidays/mini breaks and got some bits for our new house. My husband has also agreed to match whatever I put into the savings account each month, which is huge incentive for me!

    I will update the form now.

    Well a disastrous month here. Hv saved nothing tbh my out goings have been very high. Managed to pay for a couple of holidays later in the year without using my savings which is a bonus for me lol. I haven't given up but have drawn a line under March's savings and looking onwards and upwards to April.

    £800 in March for me, next month will be considerably less with car insurance needing to be paid.

    I saved £1500 this month, but my stocks & shares ISA fell the same amount, so a net zero unfortunately :(

    Still, I've paid for a future weekend away and hopefully the shares will edge up again. They are long term savings rather than short or medium, so I am not in a hurry for the dosh.
