    Thanks for your kind words LavenderBees, it's nice to be appreciated and fun to be doing this too. I tend to agree with MUN that the vicarious thrill of doing this is brilliant!

    Trills your update from the googledoc is on the spreadsheet taking you over the £3k mark for January, fantastic!

    See you all tonight,

    Hi everyone,

    No. 38 declaring my January overpayment. First month and first monthly target beaten :) Which is good because I'm expecting a smaller overpayment next month as I have a few big post xmas bills to come out.

    So, that's £785.33 overpaid :)

    I did try to use the form on the first post but couldn't get it to work :o

    I've now completed the form too :D
  • thanks for the updates icontinuetodream and fillfop. icontinuetodream - thats a big up in your target but by the looks of things you are more than capable of doing it. :j

    Keep up the excellent work all!

  • Thanks Spiggle,

    One error i've made though is i copied my target from last year however my 10% OP limit is £18,000 not £19,500. If you can amend that it would be appreciated.

    Regards
