    £775.87 for Feb. That gets us back on track a bit. Next month will be trickier so I need to start trying to stretch the grocery budget etc. I do have a few items to list for sale so hopefully that will help.

    Have just updated the spreadsheet:
    January £2,760.
    Febuary £2,760.

    I'm hoping if I go hard now with my savings I can relax/slowdown later in the year.

    Keep up the good work everyone!

    Thanks again SF for running this challenge.

    #38 reporting in with a total of £896.88(aim: £10,000)

    Not bad with two birthdays this month, and I'm hoping that frontloading now, when I don't have much on, will pay off later in the year when I can either choose to spend a little or increase my savings goal. YNAB tells me I need an average of £802 a month now from a starting point of £833.
    Start mortgage date: August 2022; Start mortgage amount: £240,999; Original mortgage free date: August 2056
