  • #90 reporting in (a bit late!)

    My balance is £56,855, so I am still on target, despite being made redundant in the summer. I now have a job lined up for January so should be OK to continue my OPs, although I have taken a substantial cut in salary. Hopefully that will be an investment in my future and I will be able to move up the pay scale (fingers crossed).

    I've found I have spent a lot less time online since being out of work, as I am not sitting in front of my computer all day. I have just been so busy! It has been great taking a break from work, and I don't really want to go back, but the bank balance is saying I need to! I'm glad my continued OPs during redudnacny didn't back-fire on me.

    Keep up the good work everyone, you are an inspiration to me to keep going. :beer:
    What goes around comes around.....I hope!

    Not to worry - I'm running even later!

    Need to collect the numbers together as I didn't manage to do this over the weekend, but should not take too long.

  • I'm quick shocked at how fast the last two years have flown!

    Think I've just about got the figures up to date.

    So with a drum roll, here's the refreshed chart 08 with the updates applied.

    Chart 08:
    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=en_GB&hl=en_GB&key=0AnhcWfGMRVgddGtzMTdvS1VnNXUwakpPc3NjZzRHMVE&single=true&gid=43&output=html

    Personally, I'm in the red zone again, but from processing the updates, I get the feeling people are really striving to give it their all. Don't worry if you put in 3 or 4 updates for a chart - they all get checked and logged.

    Give yourselves a pat on the back.

    Special mention goes to Freedom Fighter (61), who becomes mortgage free at this chart.

    If you haven't updated yet, please feel free to do so, using the updates form - link on page 1.

    As ever, any glaring omissions or errors, the form update with a quick comment is probably the best way to catch it as it's all logged centrally.

    Chart 09. Was hoping to get this set up tonight, but as the percentages and calculations for the colourings need some concentration, I'm going to get this done tomorrow.

    Well done everyone. :T

    Hi FinancialBliss, doh, when I updated Googledocs I put the wrong challenge number :o. I only realised after I'd submitted the form. I did PM you about the mistake but maybe you didn't see it? Anyway Taka No 101 has got our total of £36,909 :eek:! I am Teapot2 and am challenge number 201.

    When you get a chance could you change it please - sorry to give you more work :o:o

    Thanks for all your efforts Teapot2
