2011 mfw

originalmiscellany

As cake21 said, they have very kindly let me take over the running of the spreadsheet for the final month - thanks to them for being so selfless.

So the original link now works.
I am going to make 2 helpers to keep the update process easier, rather than have one person updating, to have three all doing their bit should make it a bit less stressful.

Is there a demand for a 2012 challenge?
It would be easy to do as cake's spreadsheet is very adaptable...

Thanks again to cake

OM / Cake,

I thought to myself earlier in the year that I wouldn't join any 2012 challenge and just focus on what is hopefully the final year of my own mortgage...

...but I now find myself in the situation where I'm seriously considering running a 2012 challenge if there is demand and no-one else steps up to the mark.

I'm off out shortly, so I'll check this thread later.

Financial Bliss.

Glad you are ok Cake although busy.

FB, I would join in the 2012 challenge - you were my original inspiration and yours was the first diary I read.

cake21: so glad you're OK (due sigh of relief)

OM: thanks so much for taking this on plus whoever your 2 helpers are

I'd really love (and need) a 2012 challenge to keep me focused - my mortgage might be switching and job might be changing so I'm gonna need the support and focus to keep on track!

Forgot to add: paid off another £50 yesterday - did a bit of moving between accounts to make up this ma-hoo-sive amount!
So total now £2470 for 157

is a link to the 2012 MFW quest.
I've literally copied what cake did, so I can't take any credit from it!
Am hoping having several helpers will spread the workload fairly, so no-one feels overworked or burdened by this, which should be a fun challenge.

OM PM me if you'd like more helpers.
August would be a good month for me as it school holiday time (and we're not going away next year).

Spiggle

Glad to see you're ok Cake! :T

Originalmiscellany, madeupname and I now have access to the spreadsheet for 2011 and so can update your figures. If you have anything to report, please let us know.

All the very best for the last month of 2011 and good luck for 2012 too.

Take care,
Spigs
