  • Hello,
    I am a newbie but would like to join up, I've requested access to the spreadsheet (nglgmx) but don't have A number yet so not sure if I should fill in the form until allocated? Sorry confused!

    Please could I be added or let me know pls if I should do the form with no number, blank starting point etc?

  • I haven't got a google sign in
  • Right everyone. I've figured out how to do it. I will need to add each person who request access so il do this tomorrow. You will need to request access by most likely signing in or upto google account.

    I will update when I've added everyone who has requested access so far and we can check if itl work. Fingers crossed.

  • Great work Mr CF on setting this up, it is very much appreciated!

    Getting close to the start date now everyone! Tins at the ready;)

    Doing a similar challenge for 2014 has helped me enormously for Christmas and I can't wait to get going again. You soon get into the habit of putting your £1 away each day and it's exciting to see it all mount up.

    Good luck everyone

  • Hi

    Can I join this challenge please? This Christmas in particular is proving to be a headache due to a serious lack of money but I'm determined next year will be different. I rarely have cash on me so I'll be transferring it monthly to an online savings account that I've set up in readiness for this.

    Thanks

    Welcome. Thanks for joining. It's ever so close to starting :D

    I have added you all to the list of participants on the first page as well as the spreadsheet. Please read the instructions on the first page as to how this works.

    All the best and remember to stay with us throughout the year :)

  • Hopefully this is the major update I have been looking for. I think I have solved it!

    I cannot get the spreadsheet to work but just letting anyone view it via the link. Everyone wanting to see the spreadsheet will have to sign up to a google account and request permission. I have added this onto the first page in bold so people can't miss it :D
    In order to see the spreadsheet after you have submitted the form, you will either have to sign into your google account or sign up for one. Once this has been done you will have to request access to the spreadsheet. I will then add your email to the list of approved persons who can view the document. :)

    Everyone who has sent me an approval request so far has been added to the list. Please view the spreadsheet and tell me if you can get access or not. If there is any problems with it (you can edit it or delete it) please let me know :rotfl:

    I am happy for people to fill in the form whenever they want. Whether it's once a week or once a month it's not a problem. Please make it clear how much you have saved at the end of each month though. I.e don't update on the 27th with £20 saved and then on the 5th of the following month with £2 for that new month. How am I supposed to know what you finished the previous month with? :think:

    All in all, I think it's going to be great. That's is upto over 60 members now, which means come the end off the year we should have saved up at least £20,000. Ideally I would love to get way more than that. It's also about each persons circumstances. If you can afford to put an extra few ££ away once month, perfect. If you can't because things are tight, not a problem ;)

    Let me know of any feedback, good or bad. I'm open to suggestions :cheesy:

    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!
  • I've also requested access to the Sheet....but I'm a bit confused (sorry)....Do I put what I've saved in December on the Update Sheet and then will you update the Spreadsheet?, so for example, WHEN I save £62 in December (cause I'm saving £2 per day) do I then use the Update Sheet.....and then when it comes to declaring January do I then put the total of ALL my savings, not just for January?....HELP!!
  • Oh and btw.....I have Potted my first £14 for the first Week of December :D


    I'm on my way!! ;)
