February GC 295/270
March GC 92/243 then lost the plot and stopped recording for two months and went way over :eek:

Evening all.
Just a quick post before I head off to crunch some challenger numbers.
I previously posted for chart 04 a savings balance of £2,500. I'm about to log an update of £5,800, so that's an increase of £3,300 over the last three months. Slow and steady progress.
Work has been keeping me busy - I guess that is good? so I've not been dipping into this thread too much. Must make an effort to participate more!
Anyway, aim is to get the chart out tomorrow evening. Won't put a time on it, as every time I do, I manage to overshoot.

Sorry, but mine might be late.
Mortgage company are being complete £&@%s!
We were with one company and they have divided? And now we are under another company and they couldn't organise a pee up in a brewery! The sooner this mortgage is gone, the better!
Sorryrant over.

I have updated via google docs. Just looked at my OP spreadsheet...there is no way I will achieve my target unless someone pays £10k into my account. I hadn't realised I had set myself such an unrealistic target, I have learned my lesson for next time!MFW 2025 No. 7 £1130/£1200

Kids. Thought I had them settled then son popped back down with a nose bleed. A little me 'n' him time and then sent him packing... :rotfl:
OK. Had one of those days at work when I was busy all day but accomplished very little. Fired PC up and I've quickly transferred all updates to chart 05.
So, here's the updated chart 05:

I've not really studied the figures in too much detail. There's also probably going to be a mistake or two. The usual advice - please PM me and I'll pick things up as soon as I can.
There's the matter of change of objectives and chart 06. I may start on this tonight, but I'm more inclined to chill for the rest of the evening and look at these tomorrow or in the next day or two. I will do chart 06 by the weekend.
Thanks for showing an interest in the challenge and thanks for providing an update. Feel free to provide an update if you have not already.

Hi,
Just looked at my entry (haven't yet updated via Googledocs) and I think something's wrong...FB - maybe you updated me (#68) with #67, or #69's numbers ?
Anyway, am about to send some money to the SIPP and will then update...
Thanks
