Hi Trix-a-belle, Where can I find the update data page please? I thought this challenged started on 12th December 2013 and to finish in 2016? £140k is my balance at 1st December 2013. If it's already ran for a year, then it's no point joining halfway through. Don't worry about it.
As per the instructions in the first post of the thread mummy18This third challenge runs from December 2012 to December 2015
I don't know if there is a take 4 challenge or something similar running elsewhere in the forum that has just started
Others are joining at the moment if you want to but as I say FB picks up the data, gives people challenge numbers and transfers it across. As you've submitted the form he probably will add you when he gets to it so your decision.
link to the update data sheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnhcWfGMRVgddE1iTjMwaFQ3Y3EtOS1GQ0NkUnUwdUE&usp=drive_web#gid=1 your entries are line 668 & 678- Mortgage: 1st one down, 2nd also busted
- Student Loan gone
Swagbucks, Mingle, GiffGaff, Prolific, Qmee & Quidco; thank you MSE every little bit helps0 -
Ok. This needs a bit of housekeeping. I've allocated a number and PMd mummy18, but other stuff such as tidying first few posts and applying updates is outstanding.
Will get done over the course of the weekend.

Good news - kind of.
Mrs Bliss got a part time job and she also got kept on. Just stacking shelves in the run up to Christmas, but is being kept on. We get a 10% discount on our spend, plus other staff incentives that I'm still not sure about.
Bad news is that it's nights and weekends, so I've been spending more time looking after kids etc, less time for other things and MSE. A step on to other things I hope!
I also felt lousy yesterday, so just pretty much took it easy, which was nice. OK, What was I here for...:o
Promised to pick up on this challenge and do some housekeeping - I've checked and applied all outstanding updates (I think) for chart 04. If you were waiting for an update to be applied, please check and PM me or post here if I've added in a typo.
There's been a few people interested in this challenge, such as mummy18 and Kerfuffle above, so I'll post allocated numbers next.

Ever had one of those days, where you mentally plan the day out and the execution is way wide of the mark. Let's just say I didn't have the best of days.
Don't like saying I'll pick up something and not following through this evening, but going to turn in and draw a line under today and see if I can get chart 05 out tomorrow.

Here's a first draft at chart 05:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?hl=en_GB&key=0AnhcWfGMRVgddE1iTjMwaFQ3Y3EtOS1GQ0NkUnUwdUE&single=true&gid=9&output=html
Been looking at figures and formula for too long this evening, so I'll check this over again tomorrow.
See the 'shortfall' column for what you need to do be on track for chart 05, in March.
I'll edit the first few posts to update links to charts tomorrow, so you don't need to keep locating this post.
