Sorry - a bit late (thought it was 14th for some reason - need to pop in more often). Also updated my starting figure.
Slow start for me but expecting some windfalls next quarterJanuary GC 299/300
February GC 295/270
March GC 92/243 then lost the plot and stopped recording for two months and went way over :eek:
May GC 372/250 still looking for the plot
June GC 118/2500 -
Just wanted to say thanks to FB for all the work on the chart etc.
Also, this is my first MFiT challenge, but to all fellow yellows and also any reds, always remember it's MF in 3 years, not 3 months, so stick in there guys, we'll meet our targets by the end. Can be easy to get down if you ain't in the green, but hopefully it'll come.
Hang in there

Quick update…
Think I’ve managed to ‘fix’ the saving increasing balance issue. I’ve put a few extra columns in my holding sheet and this calculates the reduction – basically inverts the increasing savings balance, so I can put in as a reduction from your ending balance. Think that’s working.
Also, on the previous challenge, the ‘shortfall’ column was blank if you didn’t have a shortfall, but so far for this challence, was showing as zero. Now altered to become an empty string, so that the numeric calculations at the bottom aren’t skewed by the zeros. So, this shows trix-a-belle (97) currently with the lowest shortfall £94 to be green in this first chart.
I’ve also added in a few updated received.
Aim for tomorrow – chart 02.
Keep the updates coming in, even if you’ve supplied an update and your balance has changed.

Please hide the shortfall column. It offends me.
Well, mine does anyway :rotfl:.
Really interesting to see the results :T.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0
