    is it too late to join?

    I have been saving already on another challenge but I like the idea of the spreadsheet and seeing my balance increase

    If I paid £1 per month from 1st December 2014 - 3rd March that makes

    £31 for December
    £31 for January
    £28 for February
    £3 for March
    £95!!

    So if I transfer £95 into my internet saver that would bring me up with the other members of the group?

    please let me know if this is suitable or allowed

    Evening

    If my number has changed could someone please let me know. I have sent a request to see the spreadsheet(yesterday I think) so I can't see if it has changed yet.

    Many thanks

    Edit- just noticed that the request I sent to see the spreadsheet had a bounce back email saying that the address it was sent to is incorrect.

    Sorry I have just updated with the wrong number, I used the old one of 80 and not the new one of 56. Shall I re submit with the right number?

    Hello and welcome. We don't usually allow people joining this late, but because your first post was so nice and your so eager, welcome to the challenge!

    Have a read of the first post so you can see how things are done. I will add you to the spreadsheet soon and give you a number.

    All the best.

    £31 in for me for March - this is amazing as I have NEVER been able to stick to anything like this in the past and it will be a fantastic feeling for all of us when we can open our pots etc on 1st Dec and not have to get into debt for Christmas shopping ( in my case that will be the first time ever:o)

    Thank you MrCF :D :T :) :j. :j. :j
