  • 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!!

    Yes il update the spreadsheet once I've obtained the info from you updating the form.

    No you update each month individually. I will add everything together :D

    Anything else, just ask!

    Just wondering, do I have to make a transfer each day? As I'm trying to do £5 a day, can I just make a bulk transfer every pay day? So if I get paid and there are 30 days until my next pay I just transfer £150 for the month, then next time if it's only 28 days until pay I transfer £140 for the month, etc, etc.

    Makes it easier than logging in every day to transfer £5, and I might forget, etc.
  • Morning BenTen....I'm doing mine once a Week so I don't see why you couldn't do it once per month....so I would say Go For It!! ;)

    Hello BT. You can do an update or transfer whenever you want. I'm doing if once a day just out of personal habit. Most people will probably do it weekly. Once a month is fine.
