    Thanks very much for joining the challenge. It's going to be a fantastic year! :rotfl:

    Please see the updated spreadsheet and the list of members on page 1. There you will see I have allocated each of you a challenge number. Please use this when filling in the update form.

    Anyone who has requested access to the spreadsheet has been added access. If it does not work for you then try requesting permission again or send me a PM.

    That's us above 70 members now, can we get it upto 100 for when we start? :cool:

    Start using the update form whenever you are ready. You will all see that Fmess and magsnoodle have already submitted their Decembers totals and are the first entries on the spreadsheet. A big well done to them :D

    Any questions or problems, just ask.

  • Payday for me today so I have started as I mean to go on and transferred December's money to my virtual pot.
    I have never saved for Christmas before (why not?!) so this thread is going to be great for me.
    Good luck everyone!
